Marry Me (2022)
7/10
Hits The Right Buttons
14 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw Marry Me, starring Jennifer Lopez-The Wedding Planner, Anaconda; Owen Wilson-Wedding Crashers, Anaconda; John Bradley-Moon fall, Game of Thrones_TV; Sarah Silver man-Battle of the Sexes, School of Rock and Chloe Coleman-My Spy, Big Little Lies_TV.

This is a rom_com that adequately hits all the right rom_com buttons. Not much new, as far as plots go-if you've seen Notting Hill, you know the plot-but it's done in an enjoyable manner, if you want to take a date to the movies. Jennifer plays a music superstar-I know, a big stretch-that is part of a duo that have a hit single called Marry Me. Jennifer finds out he is cheating on her minutes before going on stage and has a meltdown. She looks out into the audience and sees Owen holding a sign saying Marry Me and Jennifer points to him and says she will marry him, instead. Owen is a math teacher that took his daughter to the concert and doesn't even know how popular Jennifer is-he was holding the sign for a friend, remember?-and does not even participate on social media. John plays Jennifer's manager, Sarah plays Owen's co_worker and Chloe plays Owen's daughter. Jennifer has been in several relationships that didn't work out-no, this is not an autobiography of her real life-and has to decide whether to stick it out with her cheating, singing partner or go for the down to earth math teacher. Any guesses on who she goes for?

It's rated PG-13 for language and has a running time of 1 hour & 57 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD-once was enough-but it would be a good rental if you like rom_coms.
