Cásate Conmigo

Marry Me

It was fabulous.

Last week Mark Kermode said the Moonfall was intergalactically dumb and this week we have Marry Me and believe me it was RomCom ridiculous.

The situations was so far fetched, the acting exaggerated, outfits from Eurovision, cheesy lines and contrivances beyond the wit of man but I loved it. However, I agree, if you can't get past the bizarre scenarios and ridiculous plot then you may conclude this is the turkey of all turkeys!

Why so did I like it, you may well ask, why did this old hack like it, well the on screen chemistry between this odd couple, Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson worked in spades, it was charming, believable, sweet, and it all just breathed in all the right places. These two were perfectly cast and the roles they took were right up their street.

How interesting that John Bradley featured in both Moonfall and Marry Me, and they had a similar endearing charm and were both idiotically far fetched!

I'm giving this a firm 7 out of 10 for total charm, and escapist entertainment.

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 expected this to be terrible but I actually enjoyed it. It had a 2000's charm to it. It was completely insane but in the end I was just like ok sure.

It does sag in the middle for me, maybe if they had got it down to an hour 30, I think that would have made it even better.

The costumes were pretty great too especially the wedding dress.

The end of the movie does seem to turn into a parody of its self which I did find slightly confusing. I didn't know if the film makers did it on purpose or not.

The movie overall is a good filler for when you want to watch something light and feel good. The run time is long and there is not a single spark of believable chemistry between the two protagonists.

My wife hates Owen Wilson and I've not noticed him much outside Zoolander and the haunting but this movie made me lean on her side of the fence.

I don't know how Jennifer Lopez looks as amazing as ever but good for her, she carry's this movie which is likely how she stays in such good shape.

There was a bunch of cringe and not so much funny but then again I'm a horror person so romcoms not my usual territory.

If you want a movie that will not occupy any of your headspace past the runtime this is a good one.

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.
