STXfilms announced on Monday that Jennifer Lopez is reteaming with the studio for the upcoming romantic comedy “Marry Me.”
The film is based on a graphic novel by Bobby Crosby, and centers around a pop superstar (Lopez) who, moments before marrying her rock star fiancé at Madison Square Garden, finds out that he was cheating with her assistant. Lopez’s character spontaneously melts down on stage and picks a random math teacher out of the crowd to marry instead.
What starts as a goof ends up becoming an exploration of relationships, expectations and destiny. The studio described the rom-com as “Notting Hill” meets “The Proposal.”
