Marry Me 4K 2022

I've never been a fan of J.Lo as a singer—probably because I rarely come across her music, as I usually listen to slightly different genres. But she has always impressed me as an actress, and her roles have always been quite vivid, and the films are good. Actually, it was J.Lo who got me interested in this film.

+ Since we started with her, it's worth noting that J.Lo looks fantastic in her early 50s and moves as if she's still 18. And she acts as brilliantly as ever. Strong-willed women are her element, where she feels most comfortable.

+ The plot is basically banal, another variation on Cinderella, only Owen Wilson plays the poor girl, and the rich prince is a super-famous singer played by J.Lo. I was much more intrigued by the idea that runs like a thin red thread through the entire plot—the clash between the world of social media and real communication, which is becoming archaic in today's world, where we can follow celebrities almost 24/7 online. What was done to Jim Carrey in The Truman Show is now done by modern people themselves, quite consciously.

And in this, in my opinion, lies the key problem—we are becoming too dependent on the opinions of others and do many things only because they are expected of us, not because we ourselves want to do them.

+ The music is a separate pleasure. I repeat that I am not a fan of Jay Lo's music, but it is worth noting the huge number of really good tracks that support and enhance the atmosphere of the film.

+ And as a pleasant bonus - the humor of the film. It's light as a feather, there are no below-the-belt jokes, everything fits logically and naturally into the overall concept. Several times I caught myself smiling involuntarily at certain moments in the film, and it really made me happy.

I won't say that this is a film for all times and that I will rewatch it every year, but it definitely deserves a place in my film library.
