 Yeah, seems good Back to Spoonsville No, you should do it. It's better. Yeah, is it better? Well, why don't you just try it and then I'll try it and we'll choose which one Okay, she's just gotta have it. She's gotta have it. Spike Lee. We love you. Yes. Welcome back to Spoonsville and we were reviewing Marry Me. Yeah, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez Ah, that's great. Uh the movie starts off with Owen Wilson, who is a math teacher, elementary school math teacher divorced struggling with the relationship with his daughter Um, he's kind of gotten into a rut, a routine that makes him very You know, maybe a little boring in in her in his daughter's eyes and then the other character Jennifer Lopez's character Massive biggest pop star in the world at the moment. Owen Wilson's friend also works at the school convinces him to go to J. Lo's concert Just maybe help, you know, find something in common with your daughter reconnect that thing She'll appreciate it. And then when they go to the concert J. Lo, they had this whole thing planned where Jennifer Lopez and her Partner at the time they were going to propose on stage. He's also a performer But then right before she goes on. Oh, it's gotta be tough He's she sees a video from her manager of her partner cheating on her with her assistant. So instead of going along with that She decides to pick someone randomly out of the out of the crowd Owen Wilson happened to be holding a marry me sign that I think was handed to him by his friend So she chose him and they just both went with it And the movie follows how how do you get two people that? Um, to kind of avoid a bad media PR thing What if they just what if yeah, that's the hypothetical What if they just went with it and decided to actually be married and and then you know And these two people with such different lives. How do they gonna make that work? Yeah, so the movie is basically about them trying to make that work And avoiding the media frenzy of her looking like she's a crazy person And of course they end up falling in love. Yeah, and It's a great movie. Yeah Yeah, we loved it. It's fine. It was great. So initial reactions for marry me Yeah, yeah, yeah I liked it I liked it too. I'm laughing because I'm I would say I'm probably a little bit snobby. Yeah, I don't like saying that I have I I would say I have seen a lot of movies. Yeah, which means that when you've experienced something a lot You just yet yet it refined or you know, you you have things you're looking for in a movie to surprise you or Impress you we always talk about how we want Rom-coms that don't insult your intelligence and or movies in general movies in general But also rom-coms because a lot of the times with rom-coms. It's all about love and yeah It's the good feelings that can be done cheaply. Exactly. And they do do it cheaply We complain we complain about that too. How rom-coms aren't they just they're so condescending You know and like, okay. Yeah, I know I'm what I'm here for the fluff, right? That's why I'm watching a rom-com, but I also want you to put some substance in my fluff sandwich Exactly, you know, um Yeah, so this wasn't exactly I don't know. It wasn't exactly the most I don't know intellectually packed rom-com But it was fine. It was perfect. I didn't care. Yeah, and those are well, I'm trying to think I'm trying to think of ones that are like that maybe when harry met sally Anything say anything to a degree. Yeah, say anything too because it was very much. Um It didn't it wasn't a typical What high school movie, right? Yeah, and I love that. But I'd say this isn't your typical Kind of flashy getting with a pop star kind of movie But most a lot of the movies focusing just on how award shows and social media are Are are Contorted so that they don't really mean anything or they that people put too much value on things that are really real So there's like certain scenes where they're walking back They're walking their dog tank and he just stops moving and they have to stay there on the street And there is a lot of uh Yeah, just a lot of charming dialogue that they had with each other. It makes you want to you know That subconsciously bring out your own wilson impression, but he just delivers lines and said a great such a great way. Yeah I don't want to exactly say bananas Owen wilson was perfect for the role and of course jaylo was perfect for the world because she is also a singer And um, I actually I I can't recall a lot of movies that I've seen her in but I just don't know I have this Um, I just like her for whatever reason. I I don't know. She's just one of those celebrities that you know about You even if you're not really interested or follow her follow her You know her life. Yeah, but she just makes me feel good. Yeah So Yeah, and this movie made me feel that way and then at the end I think you felt that maybe it got a bit sappy or something at the end, but it was it was I didn't say that. I thought you were like, oh, that's unnecessary or you didn't mean No, I what I what was unnecessary was, uh, the daughter losing the math math. I felt like they could have just given it to her Come on. Why not? It's okay. You know, it also kind of feeds into the whole thing where You know, it's okay. Things don't always end up the way But you still she still did like showed that she was able to solve a very hard math problem for her age Or any age and then you learned how to deal with things in her own way by dancing Yeah, like it it was I I actually thought it was I liked it better that way because then it wasn't everything working out It it's also a good lesson. Okay. That's fair when it really Knocks it out of the park. It is nice to have those. That's actually probably one of the most I don't know typical things this movie did was at the end Everybody was happy. Basically everyone in the movie had found someone else and that was great I like that. Yeah, I I like that too. I like how it was some people that were the actors other people There were just random people. I don't know relatives of people worked on the movie, but it was sweet. Yeah, so At the end of the movie, right? Yeah during the credits. They have random people coming in. I wonder if they're real I just love that. I love that so much So yeah, overall, I just really don't have No, I'm very happy about it. I enjoyed it at first I was thinking oh, is this only going to be kind of like a smirk kind of chuckly kind of humor But there were parts that found was really funny. Yeah, and it was and again like it was uh, I thought a pretty honest movie considering how Big up I imagine with J. Lo putting her production company behind it And they were really trying to pull the curtain back maybe because she's gotten sick But she's she's I don't know. I think she's in her 50s at this point She wants probably her fans to say looks great And and wants her fans to know, you know, a lot of this is just superficial It's not real a lot of this you don't really know me, but I always I always like movies that try and Yeah, you know, honestly the movie isn't one of those movies where I I'm gonna say oh god profound But it was incredibly realistic. There's so much more realistic than I thought It was I felt that the characters were exactly how uh, well not exactly because people are different but Um, there wasn't anything that I thought. Oh, okay. Well that person wouldn't do that or that doesn't make any sense Yeah, pretty much everything did make sense Yeah, because a lot of the things for example, um, J. Lo's character, right? She's a celebrity and she is Going through she's dated a lot of guys and she always gets hurt And you know, one person might say well, that's not realistic. Why would she keep dating losers or I hate using that word. Sorry, but you know what I mean Or do you know? Oh, yeah bad guys. Why would she keep dating bad guys? Uh, one would think or someone might question my perspective of The validity of how of J. Lo's character. I think it was completely valid, right? She's dating a lot of guys celebrities and she keeps and they keep hurting her but That is actually very normal, right? A lot of people there are a lot of guys and you know, women who've dated people that weren't right for them and And they keep doing repeating the same thing and on top of that never reflect never look inward Look inward, right? What are you doing? Why do you keep going back to the same person, right? And until you deal with that stuff, you're going to keep going dating the same person, right? And I think that was realistic. Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with some with what they did Where I'm just going to go and yeah date someone I would come out never date ever in life. Yeah, however People do that too. There are human beings who do that. My philosophy isn't let me try something different in that way I would rather try date someone who I I feel compatible with not just some random guy and if things aren't working out. I'm like, okay. What am I doing? What am I doing? Why do I keep attracting the same kind of thing? There comes a point in your life Where you realize I keep doing the same thing. I keep attracting the same kind of people At some point you have to agree you have to Settle with the reality that it is you and again, I think Back to the characters. I felt that oh and wilson's character was perfect. Yeah, the things how he was People are he sleeps at what eight nine? I sleep and I get I go to bed at eight and I read before until I I sleep. There are human beings who do that. Yeah. Yeah Oh, yeah, I like the line Yeah, is it weird? I like that he kills the hair piece. Yeah, that was great. Oh, yeah, that's what that's a no There's just a lot of charm to it. Oh, this has always got charm. Yeah, she's got charm. Yeah, a lot of charm I like the game of thrones sam. Sam. Well, I think is his name in game of thrones. I'm glad he's doing stuff I liked him. Yeah, there were a lot of tangible Um Truths I would say in the movie that and I like that it was they did that without trying to be Um, some incredible work of art that is just going to stand the test of time in terms of rom-coms Right, they were they did it all very subtly And it was just great. It was these little things that they threw in It's one of those movies that at the end everyone just starts to become friends. It seems that it's nice I like it sometimes when you just it's nice to have a movie like that. Yeah Great production values great music. Yeah, the music was actually very good. Very update beat. Yeah, we were both kind of Yeah, I really have very little to complain about the only before I forget Okay, but before you forget before I forget who should not forget first She was saying while they were walking the dog that she's like fashion gave me this and it represents or means to me Don't ever let them knock you down like like keep fighting for yourself Don't let them get to you And she just says, you know, and I like the part where she says not everyone's all bad You know, it's otherwise it's complicated. The world would be easier if you could just say but that I like that That's an example. Yeah, that's what I was saying the movies like that where yeah, I mean basically fashion Is meant to be probably the scumiest of the whole movie. But then I like that Yeah, but even people that will Will will do something like that that will cheat or whatever They'll still be parts of them because he's probably also faced the same struggle where people weren't taken seriously We're on his career and he's we understand that same struggle. So Even though at the end of the day he needs to work out some stuff on his own But yeah, you can't no one's holy good or holy bad. Yeah, I like that stuff. It was also a good kind of A bit of a prince in the popper kind of thing But you know where they challenge each other to try and Adapt a little bit to the other person's lifestyle that always adds for good comedy and good Perspective, but it's just yeah Yeah, it had a little of everything and it was just a nice rom-com. You know what I liked about it too Unlike some other movies we tried to finish recently Um There was it was not mean-spirited really the mean-spirited stuff only came from the people that were meant to be Say at the math competition You've got the the guy that's the other coach and then the kids are being mean to One wilson's daughter, but it's meant to be that way But everything else the humor for the most part is meant to be sweet or like from a good place But other movies you'll start them off and you're like this is I get that they're trying to be funny Or this is supposed to be a joke, but everyone's just being assholes to each other. Yeah, I don't like that stuff Yeah, I don't like that. This was a nice movie. Yeah, I do feel uh that other movies overdo stuff Yeah And I don't know I think they probably do that because they want you they want to Set a certain tone with a certain character For the viewer to quickly catch on that. That's the bad guy and that's the good guy But I don't think it's necessary. We knew that uh, Sebastian or bastion was a bad guy without him without them demonizing him and that was fine again, everything was so subtle but also very clear and Everything came together really nicely honestly Just as a as a rom-com I would give it At least like a nine out of ten. Yeah, I would I would not only would I watch it again I would recommend it to people overall. I just really enjoyed myself. Yeah, I really did I really enjoyed it. Um, I already went into the movie Kind of feeling like it wasn't it was going to be one of those typical rom-coms And so I was already I had my guard up the first The first note I made was uh, not very real not realistic and Dad is emotionally inept because why don't parents just say what they mean kids aren't dumb So that was the tone going in for me the more you go down the notes. It gets it gets better Guy nice but divorced what he do Which this is what we also do too, right when we're after watching a movie. It's never the production Of course, we said that here. We're reviewing. Okay, but we'll talk about the characters. That person was so annoying Why don't they do that and then we talk about yeah, but life people do that in general, right? But also I'm very much that person that I love the the whole was it, you know If you keep trying to put a circle into a square peg You're always going to feel like a failure. You're always going to feel like it's not working out And that's how I look at movies is if you're trying to fit a feel-good movie into a Movie that's you know about Figuring out the human soul. Yeah, it's not going to fit properly. It's not going to do what it's but it's not what it's meant to do Yeah, put it in the feel-good hole. Yeah, put it in the feel-good hole to come out the way You know what I mean this movie fits Perfectly in the feel-good hole that it was created for that'll be it was designed for that and nothing else Let it be it gets you right in the feel-good hole exactly and I think the most unrealistic character might have been um Owen Wilson's Friend who is I think was also a teacher or whatever But she was funny in it like I liked and she was in this played the most mean-spirited humor But I just like her she's a comedian. I forget her name if you bet she's in school of rock Maybe the most unrealistic in terms of but it's because she's she's a comedian. So they're like, just be funny Just do what you do, but it was good. And yeah, yeah I guess I would I would have to agree to although it wasn't as bad. Honestly. It wasn't as bad as other Some some movies you just Yeah, I don't it just makes you off everybody in the movie. Yeah, it yeah asshole So That's that's pretty much it, right? I don't know. I don't have any more notes. Let me see I just I really liked it. Yeah, I really liked it. I feel great. It makes me feel really good Yeah, it just feels really good I we and it it just finishes you off You feel good throughout the movie and then they throw in the people that we assume Or the couples that we assume are real some really sweet marriage stories or couple stories. Yeah Yeah, if you're in love, this is a great movie You're gonna fall apart if you're not in love and you just got broken up with you might hate the movie Or it might give you hope because it also had where they have a discussion where she says oh, but you know 50 or 48 percent of marriages and divorce, but she's like I have a 52 work And he's like, oh an optimist and she's like, well, just keep even if it's one in a billion There's still isn't it worth still so it's quite an optimistic. Yeah, I love the people at the end. It was so sweet Yeah, the old the old couple that they were in the same hospital being birds. They started out in diapers and now they're in diapers 81 years later. Yeah So That's about it. That's it Check it out. Honestly nine out of ten ripe tomatoes. Yeah ripe tomatoes nine ripe tomatoes. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, check it out Yeah, watch it. Please Please don't wait till next valentine's to watch it. Watch it. Yeah, watch it now. It's valentine's week Yes, it's valentine's week. It should have a week. You get march break as a week valentine doesn't have a week Doesn't have a week only one day a year for love. Oh One day a year for love. That's it. Yeah, that's it. So you're gonna make a count Watch it anytime you want. It's great. All right. All right. Thanks folks Sweet
