This was not so terrible as I was expecting. The premiss sees superstar singer "Kat" (Jennifer Lopez) about to marry her boyfriend "Bastion" (Maluma) in front of twenty million folks on the telly. Snag is, he can't keep it in his pants - and when a video of him with her assistant goes viral whilst she is actually on stage preparing for these celebrity nuptials she thinks on her feet. A few rows in, the hapless maths teacher "Charlie" (Owen Wilson) has come to see this concert with his young daughter and a colleague from school who had made a "marry me" placard. She had gone to the toilet leaving him holding the card, "Kat" sees it and says yes to the proposal he didn't actually make! What now ensues revolves around the two of them getting to know each other amidst a media frenzy the likes of which the world has never seen - before an ending that can easily be seen from space. Wilson is terrible, no other word for it; but J-Lo is a class act. She plays her part for all it is worth on stage but also comes across as quite a decent human being as she tries to acclimatise to his rather more pedestrian existence. Maluma is very easy on the eye, but contributes precious little and the tit
Read the whole review on TMDBOwen Wilson better be careful lest he becomes the go-to for aging Latino MILFs. Last year he managed to save Bliss from Salma Hayek’s strident overacting, but he has no such luck with Jennifer Lopez in Marry Me. Now, to be fair, the movie’s failure is not her fault, and she acquits herself a lot better than Hayek did; it also helps that Lopez is essentially playing herself – a mega popstar with a string of failed marriages. And whereas she isn’t an acting prodigy, nor is, for that matter, Maluma, who plays her temporary fiancee, they are nevertheless performers who know their way around a stage and are extremely comfortable in front of an audience. It’s no surprise then that the only genuine moments in Marry Me take place during a sold-out show – that is, of course, until Kat Valdez (Lopez), having discovered, right before they are supposed to tie the knot in between musical numbers that Bastian (Maluma) has been unfaithful, has what can only be termed as a psychotic break and decides to pick out a random dude from the audience and marry him on the spot instead. Let’s put it like this: this plot is too outlandish even for Wilson, and he has been in several Wes Anderson films. The r

Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers) and Owen Wilson (Loki) surprisingly share amazing chemistry, in addition to delivering absolutely fantastic performances, constantly pulling viewers back to the screen when the narrative becomes repetitive and generic. John Bradley (Game of Thrones) and Sarah Silverman (Ralph Breaks the Internet) also contribute to the light and fun environment of the film. The balance between the life of a celebrity and the "common citizen" is quite well explored, and the vision of how much fame limits a normal life is the most interesting storyline of the entire narrative. For fans of the genre, it's strongly recommended." Rating: B
