Movie - "Marry Me"

 


Hello Friends,

An Australian news site flagged the Marry Me movie as the return of romance comedy? Read the article here  And that around 2010, Rom-Com movie’s changed direction and good lost in frat boys and their jokes about penises and poo at the expense of the romantic development of the characters.

On the strength of Jennifer Lopez being a good actress and lighting up the screen, I decided to go to the cinema and watch Marry Me. It was a pleasant movie with a feel-good ending. The character of Kat Valdez played by Jennifer Lopez lives in the glitzy world of a successful pop star. She’s rich with an entourage and a guy that videos a lot of her day for her social media channels. Her husband-to-be, Bastian, comes from the same popstar world. He’s handsome, sexy, and has a smooth singing voice. Bastian is played by Columbian star, Maluma.

The wedding ceremony between Kat and Bastian is planned to take place at their singing concert. She wears a fabulous, beaded dress and the couple will sing their hit duet.

But instead of the seemingly perfect, marriage made in heaven, Kat receives bad news about Bastian. She marries an ordinary guy, Charlie, instead who is played by Owen Wilson. Charlie Gilbert is a math teacher who co-parents his daughter with his ex.

How could a romance possibly start between these two very different people? The heartening part of the story shows how when neither person is forced to give up their authentic selves or fit into the other’s lifestyle, there’s space for a special kind of magic. They can be liked for who they are. Liking can grow into love. Catch this movie to see how the math teacher staying true to himself has another chance at love. Beneath the gloss and glamour of the popstar, he finds the beautiful, kind woman inside.

Watch the movie trailer 


Have a good week.
Take care,
stay well,
