Packed
with original songs by Jennifer Lopez and global Latin music star Maluma, Marry
Me features Lopez starring as musical superstar Kat Valdez and Owen Wilson
as Charlie Gilbert, a math teacher — total strangers who agree to marry and then
get to know each other.
An unlikely romance about two different people
searching for something real in a world where value is based on likes and
followers, Marry Me is a modern love story about celebrity, marriage and
social media.
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?
- Marry Me opens in cinemas today, Friday, 11 February.
