Directed by Kat Coiro, Marry Me arrives packed with original songs by Jennifer Lopez and global Latin music star Maluma, making his feature-film debut.
Lopez plays musical superstar Kat Valdez who is half of the sexiest celebrity power couple on Earth with hot new music supernova Bastian, played by Maluma. Together they have a hit song called “Marry Me.” It climbs the charts as they are about to wed before an audience of their fans. The ceremony will stream across multiple platforms.
Enter a divorced high-school math teacher, Charlie Gilbert, played by Owen Wilson. He’s dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou, played by Chloe Coleman and his best friend, played by Sarah Silverman.
Kat learns seconds before the ceremony that Bastian has cheated on her with her assistant. She has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth and loyalty. Her life seems insubstantial or delicate as it falls away. She locks eyes with Charlie, a stranger — a face in the crowd.
Kat marries Charlie on stage instead. Sure, it’s a moment inspired by insanity.
The love story begins as an impulsive reaction to an unexpected romance. Of course, living in different worlds, forces conspire against them. Can two such different people bridge the gap and build a place together where they both belong?
The rest of the cast includes John Bradley, Michelle Buteau and Utkarsh Ambudkar.
