A Modest hit earler this year 'Marry Me' made just over $50 million at the box office on a $23 million budget. In some ways this movie makes a big show of being about the here and now world, social media is practically the third lead. But in other ways the film is very rooted in the romantic comedy conventions of the past, and exercises it's formula variation on 'Notting Hill' in a very by the book fashion. It's the story of a single father / middle school math teacher who marries a world famous pop star in a public relations stunt gone bad, or perhaps gone right. The easy chemistry between stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez and the films overall spirit of lite pluck, make the whole corny thing work better then it has a right to. I enjoyed watching this one, and I started it with the intention of using it as background noise. **1/2
