Jennifer Lopez and Latin Grammy winner Maluma have recorded a collection of new music for Marry Me because in the film the pair will play a musical power couple. The song heard in the clip above “Marry Me” actually has a role in the new film as the new hit song by the duo, who are on the verge of getting married themselves in what is sure to be the PR event of the year. However, things will change when the couple’s relationship is shown to be less than perfect, which will result in Lopez’s character Kat, making a connection with a divorced high school math teacher, played by Own Wilson.
While we’ve certainly seen rom-com pairings where one half of the pair is some sort of celebrity and the other is “normal,” what sets Marry Me apart, at least when it comes to the plot itself, is that, rather than simply being a story about whether these two can fall in love, make a relationship work, and then get married, the relationship will begin with an impulsive marriage, and then the two will need to deal with the ramifications of that decision. It’s at least an interesting twist.
