Marry Me Vol. 1 (English Edition)
And as in any romantic comedy there is a love story behind it. This begins with Bastian (Maluma) leaving Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez) standing at the altar and in front of thousands of people who would follow the link during a concert. That’s when Charlie (Owen Eilson) appears, a math teacher who happened to be at the event and who will be the solution for the singer, as you can see in the trailer:
The original soundtrack of the movie signed by Jennifer Lopez
In addition to being the protagonist, JLo has created an album with songs like on my way (which we love), love of my life (wonder too) or marry me that he plays alongside Maluma and that he presents in this film. It is the first time that she performs her own music on the big screen and Jennifer Lopez wanted to give us a concert version of a romantic comedy.
The music hits you and makes you move your feet on the seat (we continue to have a lot of parties accumulated inside after the pandemic), and it is possible that as you leave the cinema you will look for the songs from the movie, so we save you work because on Spotify you have the complete list to enjoy it over and over again:
The spectacular wardrobe Marry me
We could already see her wedding dress during the filming in 2019, she weighed almost 45 kilos, had a six-meter veil and it took five people for the actress and singer to put it on. One last. The costume designer, Caroline Duncan, assured in an interview what the physical weight of the dress wants to represent all that weight of the wedding.
“You see her get into the car and it’s a symbol of how that wedding had gotten too big. […] Later, you see her in the bedroom alone on what should have been her wedding night, and here she is trapped in this claustrophobic dress that is just like the concert: bigger than she is. It’s the loneliest shot in the movie.”
But the film hides many other looks like the impressive Versace gold dress that she wears at the Bastian concert, with matching necklace and headdress, or Alex Perry’s spectacular dress with a marked waist and a midi-length tight skirt, studded with red sequins.
We also love her more relaxed looks, like the monochrome outfit we see Kat wearing at school, which consists of an Orseund Iris jacket, trousers Dolce and Gabbanaa Ralph Lauren sleeveless turtleneck and white and silver Christian Louboutin boots.
Not everything in the cinema is going to be an Oscar, and finding a movie that makes you smile, tells you a sweet story and makes you leave the theater loaded with good vibes is also cool. Marry me It is a success to spend a pleasant time with music, fashion and lots of love.
