Marry Me
★★☆☆☆


Kat Coiro's attempt to resuscitate the high-concept romcom by merging it with a J.Lo concert movie mostly misses the mark. Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson have great chemistry together but since Lopez is the star and therefore the main protagonist, the intriguing, old-school premise—what if an ordinary shlub was suddenly married to the biggest star in the world—can't be fully explored. Worse, the movie deliberately avoids taking on the potentially rich, contemporary theme of how celebrity and social media affect young kids, which is right there, ripe for the picking, since Willson's character is a school teacher who brings a mega-star into the world of his students. Production values are shoddy—the big concert where the story gets incited is meant to be seen by billions of people across the globe yet it looks like it was shot at a small town amphitheatre—and the script peppers too many stock romcom tropes around without developing them into something fresh.

How I Rate Films
★★★★★
One of the 5000 greatest films. Usually only awarded after repeat viewings, so there are more five-star films from decades past than recent years.
★★★★☆
An excellent film. Possibly one of the 5000 and certainly worthy of repeated viewing.
★★★☆☆
A good film well worth seeing. Films listed at the top of this ranking could end up one of the 5000.
★★☆☆☆
A disappointment, an interesting failure, or just a bad movie. Still, maybe worth seeing: I often enjoy the top two-star films in a given list more than the bottom three-star films.
★☆☆☆☆
A bad, rant-worthy film. Should be avoided regardless of hype or talent involved.
☆☆☆☆☆
One of the worst films.
