Marry Me - Verheiratet auf den ersten Blick

Seriously, talk abut not leaving anything to your imagination. IMDb policy always asks if your review has spoilers. What is there left to spoil? Let me guess. They live happily ever after?

The premise is completely ridiculous, but the dumber the better, right? They say this was adapted from a graphic novel, but it seems more like it came from a bar napkin while Hollywood writers were "brainstorming" at happy hour.

JLo and Wilson put together a surprisingly well made and adorable rom com. The storyline was perfect in its predictability. The acting was decent and the leads have chemistry.

Jennifer Lopez is a singing star, Owen Wilson is a high school math teacher. Quite by accident they get married at a concert. Well, it wasn't a legal wedding but it set a few balls in motion.

This movie is better than it should be, the writing is smart and all the actors do fine jobs in their roles. In some respects it reminds me of "Notting Hill" because a dull, ordinary, honest guy can't image that he could actually have a chance with a big star to build a life together.

It also has many elements of a Hallmark movie, where two people are attracted, something gets in the way, then they have to figure out how to overcome obstacles.

My wife and I watched it at home, streaming on Peacock.

But that doesn't mean that there's nothing worth checking out here. Far from it. Despite the fact that this is a thoroughly predictable rom-com with no plot points that haven't already been seen a million times, it has just enough of a fame-and-internet-culture twist to keep it interesting.

It also has just enough fish-out-of-water humor from both of the lead characters and just enough charisma from our two leads to keep you smiling the whole way through. I found this movie to be incomprehensibly sweet, and I had a great time watching it.

I'd honestly classify this as a guilty pleasure. Don't expect high art. Just expect to unwind and enjoy.

Also, this movie reinforced my hatred of both social media and Jimmy Fallon, and it reminded me that I am completely justified in hating both things.

I don't understand the score on this one, I couldn't decide what was more cringy, the hint of the scene in Maid in Manhattan when she says: sometimes I choke when I'm in front of a lot of people or the zero chemistry between the two main protagonists or the fact that Jennifer agreed to do such a movie, does she have to do a movie so bad that she did this one? One thing for sure, she probably enjoyed playing an amplified version of her 'stardom'.
