If you’ve seen the trailer, you might already know the storyline. World-famous singer finds out on the eve of her televised wedding, that the intended has cheated on her with the lowly personal assistant. Her answer to this affront is to pick some random dude from the audience to complete the nuptials. Random dude being Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez being, well herself.

It unravels like a Jay Lo vanity project most of the time and Owen Wilson revisits a role he’s played way too many times already but these details don’t completely submerge the film’s charms. And while the cliches do add up, among them are quite a few moments of emotional resonance that ring true, and Lopez’s character has some lovely traits.

While no punches are pulled getting you to love these people, it seems unfair, almost mean-spirited to not let a few of those choice moments of bliss get through. It’s more commerce than art but in that context, it doesn’t overstay its welcome and despite yourself, you will find the occasional smile on your lips.

Advancing from pie plate UFOs, this time the moon is the menace heading to earth to cause devastation and destruction. So it’s time for outcast Astro boy Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and hot NASA heroine Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) to suit up and save the day. They drag along conspiracy theorist KC Houseman (John Bradley) to complete their ragtag team.

Hitching a gravity-led sleigh ride to the moon after the repurposed space shuttle blows a gasket, they encounter what’s really going on with the moon, and here’s a clue, it’s not made out of cheese, or is it? As fodder for a drinking game, there are just too many categories to choose and headaches will ensue.

Emmerich stretches almost every law known to man well past the breaking point. so needless to say the law of physics and laws of science didn’t stand a chance. Nor did the law of common sense. This is filmmaking pushed so far past the ridiculous zone, it needs a new category created around it.

Kat Valdez (Lopez) is half of the sexiest celebrity power couple on Earth with hot new music supernova Bastian (Maluma, making his feature-film debut). As Kat and Bastian’s inescapable hit single, “Marry Me,” climbs the charts, they are about to be wed before an audience of their fans in a ceremony that will streamed across multiple platforms.

Divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) has been dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman, HBO’s Big Little Lies) and his best friend (Sarah Silverman). When Kat learns, seconds before the ceremony, that Bastian has cheated on her with her assistant, her life turns left as she has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth and loyalty. As her gossamer world falls away, she locks eyes with a stranger—a face in the crowd.

If what you know lets you down, then perhaps what you don’t know is the answer, and so, in a moment of inspired insanity, Kat chooses to marry Charlie. What begins as an impulsive reaction evolves into an unexpected romance. But as forces conspire to separate them, the universal question arises: Can two people from such different worlds bridge the gulf between them and build a place where they both belong?

Starring Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Maluma, John Bradley and Sarah Silverman, Marry Me will be release in Australian cinemas February 10, 2022!
