Mild themes, sexual references and coarse language
Packed with original songs by Jennifer Lopez and global Latin music star Maluma, Marry Me features Lopez starring as musical superstar Kat Valdez and Owen Wilson as Charlie Gilbert, a math teacher—total strangers who agree to marry and then get to know each other. An unlikely romance about two different people searching for something real in a world where value is based on likes and followers, Marry Me is a modern love story about celebrity, marriage and social media. Kat Valdez (Lopez) is half of the sexiest celebrity power couple on Earth with hot new music supernova Bastian (Maluma, making his feature-film debut). As Kat and Bastian’s inescapable hit single, “Marry Me,” climbs the charts, they are about to be wed before an audience of their fans in a ceremony that will be streamed across multiple platforms. Divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) has been dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman, HBO’s Big Little Lies) and his best friend (Sarah Silverman). When Kat learns, seconds before the ceremony, that Bastian has cheated on her with her assistant, her life turns left as she has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth and loyalty. As her gossamer world falls away, she locks eyes with a stranger—a face in the crowd. If what you know lets you down, then perhaps what you don’t know is the answer, and so, in a moment of inspired insanity, Kat chooses to marry Charlie. What begins as an impulsive reaction evolves into an unexpected romance. But as forces conspire to separate them, the universal question arises: Can two people from such different worlds bridge the gulf between them and build a place where they both belong?

Marry Me | Reviews
Just as she did in Hustlers, Jennifer Lopez reminds us what a formidable screen talent she is - even if it might seem effortless for her to play a serially-married pop star in this above-average, but decidedly mainstream, rom-com.

The bar for rom-coms is not high, and this one, ludicrous as it often is, inches over. Full review Jennifer Lopez is radioactively humourless and Owen Wilson is robotically bland in this stinker. Full review Despite some nice chemistry between Lopez and Owen Wilson, this rom-com can’t quite commit. Full reviewVariety

A fun premise, one that this treats seriously, but it never quite reaches the highest levels of the genre.

For others, it could be exactly the comfort viewing that's needed

Los Angeles Times
That love can, and will, bloom again, is the beating heart of Marry Me, an otherwise frothy and deeply silly rom-com.

The Washington Post
Takes place in an “uncanny valley” of art imitating life, yet bearing no credible resemblance to anything remotely lifelike.

The corpse of Notting Hill is reanimated, frightfully.

Little White Lies
Refreshing in its refusal to pretend to be anything other than a fluffy star vehicle

Vulture
When you have two winsome characters who clearly like each other, sometimes that’s enough.

Screen Daily
Falls victim to the genres worst cliches, leaving a fresher, funnier take on the material just out of reach.

Has a lot more charm than the hype suggests.
