Marie-moi

« Marry meh. »

« Your average streaming rom-com looks like junk, but Florian Ballhaus' cinematography lends "Marry Me" a pleasing luster, and once you accept the setup (I fought it for about 20 minutes), it's easy to roll with the situations in the connect-the-dots script: the way Charlie challenges Kat to live without her army of assistants, the twist presented by the Grammys (Kat gets her first nomination, for best pop vocal -- but will she get back together with Bastian during the awards campaign?), the weaving in of Jimmy Fallon monologue jokes. »

« But sometimes that's the most pleasurable kind of fairy tale -- one so close to convincing, you can forget for a spell that it's all just a dream. »

« If you like these kinds of movies, this one isn't bad. »

« Sparks fly between this unlikely pairing. »

« Le dénouement est rapidement prévisible pour ce long métrage qui renverse la prémisse de Maid in Manhattan / Romance à Manhattan (2002) film mineur de Wayne Wang mettant naguère en vedette Jennifer. »

« Malheureusement, ce «Marie-moi» insipide vient rejoindre la cohorte de platitudes maintes fois vues et oubliées le plus rapidement possible. »

« Bref, Marry Me est un film de Saint-Valentin plutôt agréable, mais qui ne sort jamais des sentiers rebattus. »
