Marry Me is a 2022 American Romantic Comedy film directed by Kat Coiro and starring Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson and Maluma. It is loosely based on the webcomic of the same name, sharing the same initial premise but diverging considerably afterwards.Katalina "Kat" Valdez (Lopez), an international pop superstar with a history of failed marriages, is busy preparing to tie the knot with her current fiancé and fellow musician Bastian (Maluma) during a highly-publicized, livestreamed concert in New York City.Meanwhile, divorced math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Wilson) is trying to reconnect with his daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman), who has transferred to his school. Charlie's best friend and colleague Parker Debbs (Sarah Silverman) convinces him to take Lou to Kat and Bastian's marriage concert. At the concert, Parker asks Charlie to briefly hold her cardboard fan sign reading "Marry Me"—the title of Kat and Bastian's current hit duet.Then, just before the vows, Kat finds out that Bastian is cheating on her. Seeing Charlie holding the sign in the crowd, she asks to marry him instead... and he agrees. As the two navigate a publicity marriage, they slowly fall in love.John Bradley plays Kat's manager Colin and Michelle Buteau plays her assistant Melissa. Stephen Wallem, Jameela Jamil, and Utkarsh Ambudkar play minor roles.The film was released theatrically and on Peacock on February 11, 2022. It is also accompanied by a soundtrack album featuring original songs by Lopez and Maluma.Not to be confused with the 2010 miniseries starring Lucy Liu.

Adam Westing: Kat's life derives heavily from Lopez's own, being a super-famous pop star with several endorsements and a highly public romantic life.

comment
Adaptational Job Change: In the source material, Guy (Charlie's basis) is a high school guidance counselor. Here he's a math teacher, and Parker is the guidance counselor. This changes the context of his relationship with Kat; while Guy's experience as a counselor helped him guide Kat through difficult times, the math club he advises is an embodiment of his mundane life compared to Kat's.

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Kat demonstrates a comparatively minor example of this when trying to get to Charlie and Lou after ending her interview on The Tonight Show; she forgot to bring her passport, tries to buy another passenger's ticket without knowing that's illegal, attempts to get champagne for the other passengers flying coach, doesn't know where to find "cars" (taxis) at the destination airport, and even ended up buying someone's coat because she ran out of the aforementioned interview in a fancy but impractical dress.

Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: In-Universe, Charlie has no idea who uber-popular pop star Kat Valdez is, which ironically makes him suited to randomly marrying her because she's so used to having her entire life scrutinized.

Gay Best Friend: Like in the webcomic, Parker is the supplementary lesbian best friend to the straight male lead. While Charlie's publicity marriage to Kat is the subject of the film, we only hear about Parker's ex-girlfriend in dialogue, and she doesn't get a subplot of her own.
