The bar for rom-coms is not high, and this one, ludicrous as it often is, inches over.
Full reviewJennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Sarah Silverman and Game of Thrones's John Bradley star in this romantic comedy about a pop superstar who – after falling out with her rock-star fiancé moments before their Madison Square Garden wedding – marries a complete stranger from the crowd in retaliation. Based on Bobby Crosby's graphic novel.
Just as she did in Hustlers, Jennifer Lopez reminds us what a formidable screen talent she is - even if it might seem effortless for her to play a serially-married pop star in this above-average, but decidedly mainstream, rom-com.
