QUICK TAKE:
Romantic Comedy: A pop superstar and a middle school math teacher must deal with the aftermath of the former -- having learned on the day of her wedding that her fiancé cheated on her -- spontaneously marrying the latter.
PLOT:

Kat Valdez (JENNIFER LOPEZ) is an international pop superstar who's set to marry similar megastar Bastian (MALUMA) with whom she's recorded the smash hit, "Marry Me." The wedding is to occur at her concert and be broadcast around the world thanks to the work of her manager, Colin Calloway (JOHN BRADLEY). Reluctantly in attendance is divorced middle school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (OWEN WILSON) who's there with his 12-year-old daughter, Lou (CHLOE COLEMAN), and his coworker, guidance counselor Parker Debbs (SARAH SILVERMAN) who had the tickets and encouraged Charlie to prove to his daughter that he can be fun.

Things take an interesting turn when Kat learns that Bastian cheated on her with one of her assistants. Shaken and making a rash decision, Kat decides to marry a random stranger at the concert and chooses Charlie. Sensing her despair and shock, Charlie goes along with that to comfort her, unaware of how that's going to change his life.

That's especially true when Kat says they need to make it seem real for at least a few months to keep her reputation from being further tarnished. As they initially go through the motions of doing public appearances together, the two eventually start to get to know each other, resulting in a budding romance, all of which ends up threatened when Bastian reenters the scene.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
