MOVIE INFO:
Kat Valdez is part of the world’s sexiest celebrity power couple, alongside sizzling new music sensation Bastian. While their irresistible hit song, “Marry Me,” climbs the charts, Kat and Bastian are getting set to marry in front of an audience of their lovers in a ceremony that will be webcast across many platforms. Charlie Gilbert, a divorced high school math teacher, has been brought to the concert by his daughter Lou and his closest friend. On stage, she experiences a nervous breakdown, questioning love, truth, and fidelity.
SAS her gossamer world falls, he locks eyes with a stranger—a face in the crowd. If what you know doesn’t work, maybe what you don’t know will, and Kat marries Charlie in a fit of inspired insanity.
REVIEWS:
- If you’re a lover of Lopez’s music and abs, you’ll get a big dose of both at the cinema. But if you really want to be swept off your feet, I’d go for something a little hotter.
- This is a sophisticated, character-driven romantic comedy that confidently tugs at the heartstrings.
- Marry Me isn’t Notting Hill, the pinnacle of “ordinary schmo meets superstar” films. However, it completes the task.
- Cynics will despise it, while others will adore it.
- It’s a terrific film, but you have to like Lopez to enjoy it.
- It’s an excellent Valentine’s Day film.
- A rom-com that is both predictable and amusing.”Marry Me,” directed by Kat Coiro, does more than honor its stars; it hints at the significance, the substance, that’s embedded in their screen personas.
- There’s nothing wrong with an escapist rom-com, but this one takes too much from previous entries in the genre and feels like a mash-up.
- Marry Me appears to be a two-hour homage to rom-coms in general, which have had a bit of a resurgence in recent years. It reimagines several iconic clichés and standards of the genre as if it is well aware of this fact.
- Marry Me is unlikely to be nominated for any awards, but it’s a fun experience that delivers on the finest version of its promise on the tin.
- The film’s Notting Hill feel will make viewers smile as they root for the unlikely connection between a pop star and a humble single father who works as a math teacher.
