More Detail:
MARRY ME stars Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in a romantic comedy about an international pop star who impulsively marries a man in the audience when she’s left at the altar. MARRY ME has some funny moments, but the romantic leads lack chemistry, the plot is a bit far-fetched and needs more jeopardy, and the movie’s positive Christian, moral content is marred by brief foul language, some blasphemous images and a strong Romantic, non-Christian worldview about following your heart.
Kat and Bastion were planning on getting married in front of millions of people at one of their concerts. They both wrote the song “Marry Me” and decide that, while performing their song, they would do a wedding. After Kat gets on her wedding dress and is walking to perform the song, she discovers that Bastion cheated on her with her assistant. On stage, Kat impulsively decides to marry a man in the audience, Charlie.
The next day, Kat and her manager come up with a plan that Kat should get to know Charlie and it would be good for the story line that they have created and for marketing. The only thing is, Charlie is a dedicated middle school math teacher who has a flip phone, no social media and doesn’t care about fame.
Charlie decides to agree to getting to know Kat and do some press conferences to help her out. It doesn’t take long for Kat to realize that Charlie is a good guy who’s humble and has a good heart. The question is, will Charlie be able to get uses to the glitz and glam of Kt’s life, or will he shy away?
MARRY ME has some comical moments, but the plot is far-fetched. Also, the movie doesn’t have much jeopardy or drama, which makes it lags in some spots. Also, no matter how fabulous Jennifer Lopez is, Owen Wilson and she are not a truly believable pair.
MARRY ME has a strong Romantic worldview stressing following your heart, with very little emphasis on commitment. Many of the characters have been married multiple times and then got married on a whim. The movie does show some positive Christian, moral elements. For example, Charlie is a humble man and a loving father and has his priorities straight. The movie tries to show that fame and fortune don’t matter, but that what matters most is love and family. Also, MARRY ME has a light mention of prayer and a reference to taking a leap of faith. However, the movie also mentions multiple couples being in same-sex relationships. Also, one of the movie’s songs is a metaphor for sex and compares sex to going to church, which is blasphemous in itself.
MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution for MARRY ME.
