Jennifer Lopez & Owen Wilson Movie Finally in UHD

February is always a great time to revisit romantic comedies, as who doesn’t want to see charming and beautiful people fall in love around Valentine’s Day? That’s why the Marry Me 4K release was well-timed, as the 2022 Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson movie is finally available on ultra high-definition four years after it was originally released. The film isn’t a classic of the genre by any means, but it is a fun time and an intriguing rewatch ahead of director Kat Coiro’s second film (You, Me & Tuscany) coming out soon.

“A betrayed pop star (Jennifer Lopez), slated to marry her pop star fiancé (Maluma) on stage, instead marries a stranger from the audience — a high school math teacher (Owen Wilson). Against the odds, their sham relationship develops into something real, but can their love survive the limelight?” says the official description.

Romantic comedies often have rather ridiculous plot lines, but Marry Me has a very melodramatic start, even for the genre’s standards. The film begins with Jennifer Lopez’s Kat Valdez about to be married to a fellow musician during a live concert until she finds out he’s been cheating on her. What happens next is that she has a mini-meltdown on stage and decides to randomly marry Owen Wilson because he was carrying a sign that read, “marry me.” Is it goofy? Certainly, but once the film gets past its initial setup, it actually winds up being more fun than it initially seems.

A lot of that is a credit to its cast, as both Lopez and Wilson give charming performances and develop a cute chemistry together over time. Solid supporting performances from Sarah Silverman, John Bradley, and Chloe Coleman add depth to the film, and there are some musical numbers by “J-Lo” and Colombian singer Maluma for good measure that really shine in 4K and sound great with its Dolby Atmos audio track. The movie is at its best during its quieter moments, though, as the time spent watching Wilson and Lopez fall in love is the real treat.

The Marry Me 4K release also features a pretty varied selection of bonus features. Cairo and producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas provide a fun audio commentary, while there’s a wide range of featurettes totalling over 30 minutes that take a look at Lopez’s character, the making of the film, its usage of music, and actually shooting in Madison Square Garden during an actual concert by Maluma. Throw in a lyric video for the song “On My Way,” plus five minutes of deleted scenes and a gag reel, and you’ve got a lot to dig into after watching the film.

Marry Me 4K Review: Final Verdict

While Marry Me isn’t the best film in either star’s filmography, it is a charming and easy watch. With some hilarious moments and a romance that winds up being more impactful than it initially seems, Kat Coiro’s rom-com winds up being plenty of fun. Thanks to a solid transfer and a solid array of special features, the Marry Me 4K release is a solid addition to any fan’s collection.
