What Is Marry Me About?

As the official synopsis of Marry Me goes,

After learning that her on-stage partner (Maluma) has been having an affair behind her back, Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez), a sensational Latin pop star, chooses to marry a stranger, Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson), holding a "Marry Me" sign by accident at her live concert.”

In simple words, this romantic comedy-drama is about finding love in unexpected, strange places. It is also about celebrities and how social media drives their lives. While the romantic comedy does explore an uncommon marriage, it also tells us what it takes for two people to make it work. It seems ridiculous in this day and age to imagine marrying a stranger. And yet, that was the way of life generations ago. Marry Me raises some important questions about what we have long left behind, and if they can actually work in the modern social setting.

For instance, Marry Me sees a music superstar and a high school teacher in a marriage that happened out of nowhere. And yet, they both find themselves trying to make it work, despite all their social, cultural, or even personality differences. Under the surface of the fun and chaos of Kat and Charlie’s marriage, the movie also explores important aspects of relationships and marriages.
