MORE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "Marry Me is far from being a groundbreaking rom-com, but the lead actors, compelling character work, and excellent original music make for genuine entertainment. 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 narra

Owen 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

Cute screenplay and fun performances! Wish some of its other elements were a bit stronger so I could say it was great, but it was still pretty fun. Really could’ve used a stronger sense of rhythm, both in its editing and pacing.

**Marry Me relies on its strong leads to make this average rom-com worth at least one watch.** Marry Me doesn't do anything new, but Jennifer Lopez's class and Owen Wilson's lovable everyman charm make an average rom-com a decent watch. The outlandish concept of a pop star spontaneously marrying a random fan in the crowd, feeding the media circus, and then accidentally falling in love might seem far-fetched, but in today's world not completely impossible. Marry Me tries to tell the story Notting Hill for a new audience but falls short by rushing the story and forgetting to make the romance believable. It all just happens without convincing or satisfying its audience. Lopez and Wilson's awkward escapades are still enjoyable to watch but not enjoyable enough for a second viewing.

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
