Marry Me relies on its strong leads to make this average rom-com worth at least one watch.
Marry Me doesn't do anything new, but Jennifer Lopez's class and Owen Wilson's lovable everyman charm make an average rom-com a decent watch. The outlandish concept of a pop star spontaneously marrying a random fan in the crowd, feeding the media circus, and then accidentally falling in love might seem far-fetched, but in today's world not completely impossible. Marry Me tries to tell the story Notting Hill for a new audience but falls short by rushing the story and forgetting to make the romance believable. It all just happens without convincing or satisfying its audience. Lopez and Wilson's awkward escapades are still enjoyable to watch but not enjoyable enough for a second viewing.
