Review of Marry Me (2022) by Tvjerry — 16 Feb 2022
Jennifer Lopez plays a fictional version of herself, a music superstar. She's slated to wed her famous beau (Maluma), but when she finds him cheating right before the wedding, she randomly picks someone out of the audience to take his place (Owen Wilson).
Since he's a scruffy math teacher, their lifestyles obviously clash. The story goes where it's expected, so it's up to the writing and performances to make it special. Lopez looks fabulous in great fashions, while taking her role seriously.
Wilson serves up his usual hapless charm, which works for his character, but it's Sarah Silverman, as his guidance counselor friend, who brings the funny. It's obvious by the constant original musical numbers that a soundtrack is the movie's side hustle.
As for the writing, there's nothing new or especially amusing. Overall, the chemistry between the couple is genuine and their performances elevate the film slightly out of run-of-the-mill romcom.
