Say Yes to Marry Me - Review and Giveaway #MarryMeMovie

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, I did receive a copy for review, but this just means I'm able to give away the film as a prize too! Enter the contest at the end of this post. 



Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the arrival of MARRY ME on Blu-Ray and DVD (also available on Digital). This film is for Romantic Comedy and Music Fans alike!. It takes you on a journey of modern-day social media frenzy and you see how easily the characters get caught up in it.  



Marry Me Pulls Back the Veil of Celebrity

The pressures of stardom, the chaotic lifestyle of a celebrity and the loneliness that comes with rising to the top are some of the underlining messages in Marry Me.  This movie shows that not everything is as it appears, including the romance between two singers who look like they are headed for a life of wedded bliss.  When the fairy tale comes crashing down, it takes a new outlook, a new lifestyle and a new husband to really see what is under the veil of the so-called glamourous life.

Let the Music Play

Much like 2018's A Star is Born, the film is not classified as a musical, but the songs propel the storyline and show the feelings of the characters with each note. The catchy pop tunes, the emotional ballads and songs full of hope take center stage in this sweet story of chance meetings. You will say yes to watching Marry Me again and again.

Jennifer Lopez is back as the “reigning queen of romcoms” (David Sims, The Atlantic) in MARRY ME, available for the very first time to own and on Digital April 26, 2022 and on Blu-ray and DVD May 10, 2022 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Earning a resounding 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it is now time to “believe in love” (Kate Walsh, Los Angeles Times) with this year’s most delightfully romantic film featuring Owen Wilson and original music by Jennifer Lopez and Latin music megastar Maluma. Enjoy more of the film’s lovable charm with exclusive never-before-seen bonus content including deleted scenes, gag reel, and a look behind the scenes with actress and producer Jennifer Lopez for the perfect movie date night.

A heartbroken 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 relationship develops into something real...but can their love survive the limelight?
