Marry Me (2022)

I watched this on a trans-Atlantic flight, which is a setting where one is willing to forgive a lot, and probably you whouldn't watch a cinematic masterpiece when you are fluying in coach and your screen is smaller that the one on an iPad. So a predictrable romantic comedy is going to fare better with me as an audience in this setting than in any other. That said, I did enjoy this. It is completely predcitable, and very sweet. Think Notting Hill but the drop dead gorgeous and very rich woman is a pop singer, played by Jennifer Lopez and the bumbling but very decent guy who is way out of her league but believably cute and nice is played by Owen Wilson, who can do a character like this in his sleep. He makes you think he isn't even acting he has played this kind of guy so often. I had just spent two week in the Baltics, three countries that have a million things going for them, and an expansionist Russia to fear, and an uncomplicated movie where the decent guy has a shot at real happiness was well received.
