Marry Me

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.
