- 67IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandBut while that stew sounds familiar, Marry Me takes almost too long to get really cracking, with both romance and laughs in short supply, until a mercifully charming final act.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreAn engaging if undemanding romantic outing, newfangled enough to be social media-current, old fashioned enough to warrant bringing the whole family. Just remember to brush your teeth afterwards.
- 60The IndependentAdam WhiteThe IndependentAdam WhiteIn an era in which many of Lopez’s romcom peers – namely the Witherspoons and the Bullocks – have pivoted to dark dramas, it’s lovely to see her still banging the drum for a genre that’s never earned the respect it’s deserved. Then again, she knows what that feels like.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattEntertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIt's all cream puff, a featherweight fairytale too shiny and mild to attempt the better movie about midlife romance and second chances that might have been.
- 50SlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiSlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiMarry Me feels like a satirical movie that missed the joke. It doesn't have a plot as much as a collection of rom-com tropes — Fake marriage! Reverse "Notting Hill"! Evil exes! School mathalons? — and is strung together by the whisper of a narrative structure. But while "Marry Me" is silly, poorly made, and inarguably a bad movie, I had dumb fun.
- 50Chicago TribuneNina MetzChicago TribuneNina MetzI don’t know if this was due to the budget or COVID, but Marry Me feels small in ways that a big commercial rom-com frequently doesn’t and maybe that’s why 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, including the frequent cutaways to a decidedly unfunny Jimmy Fallon, which may be, ironically, the movie at its most honest.
- 42The PlaylistLauren J. CoatesThe PlaylistLauren J. CoatesEven 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.”
- 30TheWrapCarlos AguilarTheWrapCarlos AguilarIt’s better than nothing to mark the cheesy holiday, but the lack of effort shows.
- 20The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawJennifer Lopez is radioactively humourless and Owen Wilson is robotically bland in this stinker.
