IMDb plot summary: Music superstars Kat Valdez and Bastian are getting married before a global audience of fans. But when Kat learns, seconds before her vows, that Bastian has been unfaithful, she instead decides to marry Charlie, a stranger in the crowd.

Marry Me is a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez as a music superstar making plans to marry her equally famous partner livestreamed to the world. But when she finds out at the wedding that he's been cheating on her with her assistant, she makes an impulsive decision to instead marry a fan in the crowd who is holding a sign that says "Marry me." This fan is Owen Wilson, who was actually only there to take his daughter to the concert. The two are married live on stage and then have to navigate their marriage as a publicity stunt that may turn into something deeper. I've often not been a huge fan of Jennifer Lopez's acting but she's grown on me as she's gotten older, and here her charisma is miles ahead of Wilson's. In a good rom-com, the two are equally matched, but here I don't particularly want them to end up together because she's so much more interesting than he is. And that's not to say Wilson can't be charismatic, he just isn't here. He doesn't sell the wholesome homey charm of an everyday life, which is what you need. The plot is a stretch, the story is silly, but all that wouldn't matter if I like the two leads together. Unfortunately, it doesn't really work for me.
