Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson make for unlikely couple in ‘Marry Me’
A rom-com featuring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson tops the DVD releases for the week of March 29.
“Marry Me”: A pop superstar, planning a public wedding, spontaneously marries a milquetoast math teacher when she discovers her fiance’s infidelity.
“In the past, rom-coms starring Jennifer Lopez often saddled her with professions that are just too unbelievable,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “So it’s refreshing to see J.Lo, in a muchheralded return to the romantic comedy fold, playing a character who just makes sense for her: a global pop superstar.”
