Marry Me stars Jennifer Lopez as Kat Valdez who is going to live marry Maluma. Instead she goes all Married at First Sight with Owen Wilson. I know who I would choose.
Kat Valdez who decides to marry a stranger holding a "Marry Me" sign (Owen Wilson) after learning that her on-stage partner Bastian (Maluma) has been having an affair.
Along with Lopez, Wilson and Maluma, John Bradley, Sarah Silverman, and Chloe Coleman also star.
Principal photography took place in Manhattan in October and November 2019. It was delayed twice from an original February 2021 release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marry Me ended up arriving just in time for Valentine's Day 2022. Premiering in Los Angeles on February 9 whilst simultaneously available on Peacock Premium on February 11, an NBC streaming platform. Hence the large NBC late night show Fallon presence throughout the film.
A soundtrack album of the same name by Lopez and Maluma was also produced. The lead single, titled "Pa' Ti", was released on September 24, 2020, and debuted at number nine on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs, marking Lopez's highest chart debut in the United States since 2017.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, however I....... loved it! Rom coms (also Owen Wilson) are not high on my must see cinema list. However this was sweet while being a nice distraction of troubles in Ukraine, the Winter Olympics, Dragon cover songs and the real life drama on MAFS which this film could very well be based on.
Lopez shines in this pop star role. Whilst Maluma really just plays himself. Wilson is sweet as a maths teacher recently divorced with a sweet child. The real winner is Sarah Silverman. She really steals every scene she is in.
First Wives Club TV show star Michelle Buteau as Melissa (one of Lopez's team) tries to steal scenes however Silverman delivers serious gold whenever she is on screen.
I enjoyed this way more than I though, 3.5 romantic AF musical stars.
