	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Jennifer Lopez is radioactively humourless and Owen Wilson is robotically bland in this stinker (...) Everything about the film is machine-tooled and algorithmically calculated (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The bar for rom-coms is not high, and this one, ludicrous as it often is, inches over the bar. But I would no more call it a good movie than I’d pretend fast food is high in nutrients."	NEU
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Empire	"Why finish your romcom with a huge wedding when you can start with one instead? It's a fun premise, one that this treats seriously, but it never quite reaches the highest levels of the genre (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"It builds its central relationship around chemistry just sweet and sincere enough to make us eagerly buy into it for 112 minutes."	POS
United States	Lauren Coates The Playlist	"Even with a handful of toe-tapping songs written by Maluma and JLo specifically for the film 'Marry Me' is an off-tune rom-com that should make most viewers think twice about saying 'I do'."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Although Lopez no doubt intimately understands her character’s struggles with fame, the film does fall victim to the genre’s worst cliches"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Marry meh"	NEG
United States	Carly Lane Collider	"For some, this film could miss the mark; for others, it could be exactly the comfort viewing that's needed, but overall, 'Marry Me' merits more of a 'sure, okay' in response rather than a resounding yes."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Even within the genre's parameters, the silly premise deals the movie a blow from which it never entirely recovers."	NEG
United States	Jeff Ewing Forbes	"It’s a charming enough journey thanks to talented performers that may just scratch that romantic comedy itch."	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"Jennifer Lopez should have left this script at the altar. This innocuous rom-com highlights some great new songs, but a megastar like Lopez deserves better than this bland concoction"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"The ways in which the pair are scrutinized and divided are not interesting (...) but how they navigate their way through it is. That’s what’s romantic about all of this."	NEU
United States	Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"You can’t fully shake the feeling that this Universal Pictures project is really just a marketing scheme cooked up to highlight Lopez’s real-life music career and some NBCUniversal properties (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
Canada	Rachel Labonte Screen Rant	"Lopez and Wilson are a surprisingly delightful pair and there is more heart to their onscreen meeting than the premise would suggest (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Deadline	"'Marry Me' isn’t remotely funny or charming enough to make you even fantasize that this relationship could ever amount to anything real."	NEG
United States	Hoai-Tran Bui SlashFilm	"[It] feels like a satirical movie that missed the joke. It doesn't have a plot as much as a collection of rom-com tropes (...) But while 'Marry Me' is silly, poorly made, and inarguably a bad movie, I had dumb fun"	NEU
United States	Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"The excellent writing, the charisma of Jennifer Lopez, and the charm of Owen Wilson make 'Marry Me' the delightful rom-com that will make your heart smile (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Diego Semerene Slant	"A cringe-inducing brand extension for Jennifer Lopez. 'Marry Me' plays out as the logical culmination of a multi-hyphenate icon’s indiscriminate commercial voracity (…) Rating: 0 (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Caroline Siede AV Club	"'Marry Me' can’t quite figure out what it wants the conflict of its central relationship to be (...) There’s undoubtedly a lot of stuff that works here, although that also makes the stuff that doesn’t more frustrating"	NEU
Australia	Peter Gray The AU Review	"Appreciators of the genre and fans of Lopez’s in general should warmly respond to the cuteness of such a film (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Hong Kong	James Mottram South China Morning Post	"Although mildly amusing, the pairs’ tribulations are numbingly predictable. The soundtrack is memorable, but not enough to save the movie (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"Its treatment of marriage as a suitable starting point for a relationship is odd, to say the least"	NEG
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"The first two-thirds of 'Marry Me' really work because they stay grounded to reality (...) That’s not to say the final third doesn’t fall into the same old, tired traps of forcing conflict where conflict doesn’t need to exist"	NEU
Canada	Radheyan Simonpillai Now Toronto	"There are some likeable bits in the corny-ass rom-com so long as you can stomach a preposterous premise and bad music"	NEU
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Jennifer Lopez's best rom-com in years (...) Sometimes all we want s to watch Jennifer Lopez try and fail to make a decent smoothie in a luxurious Hamptons mansion. And there is nothing wrong with that (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
