Meanwhile, divorced dad Charlie (Wilson) reluctantly agrees to accompany his teen daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman) to Kat’s sold-out concert, where she’ll tie the knot on stage. She plays Kat, a global pop icon who is about to marry fellow singing sensation Bastian (Maluma). Lopez, who also produced the project, will be a major draw, showing off both her star power and singing abilities. Potential viewers should savour the breezy tone - not to mention its similarities to Notting Hill, another rom-com about a regular guy wooing a celebrity. It’s tempting to surmise that Lopez is telling us something about her life inside a celebrity fishbowlĪrriving in the UK and US on February 11, this Universal release is well-suited for the Valentine’s Day crowd. But although Lopez no doubt intimately understands her character’s struggles with fame, the film does fall victim to the genre’s worst cliches, leaving a fresher, funnier take on the material just out of reach. There’s a lot of heart to this unlikely tale of a pop superstar and a humble maths teacher who fall for one another, and director Kat Coiro harkens to a bygone era when Hollywood studios would make these kinds of pleasingly frothy date-night pictures. A romantic comedy that balances between a fairy-tale love story and a more practical portrait of modern courtship, Marry Me is elevated by the sweet rapport between stars Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.
