To me, this movie is perfection.

Brilliant and touching

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Marry Me has been made by the people behind Happy Endings, and it shows it too, with its irreverent humour, charming dialogues and excellent cast (for the most part; I'm not too sold on two of the supporting characters). I'm one of the lucky people who live in the UK and got to see its series finale, and I must say, the whole show has not disappointed. It started off a little oddly in the first episode, but it set the tone for the show, which does, essentially, revolve around the main couple and still somehow escapes the 'romcom' tag. Later episodes end up improving the jokes and the characters, and you find yourself smiling throughout.While the show was cancelled after only one season, the writers seem to have had enough time to prepare for the cancellation and have ended the story on a high note and tied up most of the story lines with a neat bow. The finale was a lovely callback to the first episode and singlehandedly made me change the rating of this show from 8 to 9 stars.With just 18 lighthearted episodes, each about 22 minutes long, the series is perfect for binge-watching over the summer if you have nothing else going on.

My wife and I sat down to check out the pilot and after about 10 minutes which seemed like hours we decided to consign this rubbish to the bin. The actress who ranted on for most of the section we watched I just wanted to shoot. How anyone could have wanted to marry a woman like that would naturally have several screws loose. It just did not work on any level. It was an attempt to be edgy and "modern" but it was simply painful to watch. I cannot see how this series could be recommissioned for further series, in fact how did it get commissioned based on this dreadful pilot episode. The viewer has to be able to like the main characters and empathise with them but when all you want to do is kill them then it just is not going to work.

I checked out the pilot because of some negative reviews I read, so that's my frame of reference:"Marry Me" is a decent romcom based on the marriage of 30-something sitcom actress Casey Wilson and show runner David Kapse (whose previous outing, "Happy Endings", served as Wilson's breakout).I don't have a strong familiarity with the romcom genre (or more specifically, romantic comedies in the past 15 years) which might work to my advantage as I thought this show was pretty good and possibly a better use of the "Happy Endings" creator's unique voice. Personally, I found "Happy Endings" was a little too insular and reliant on inside jokes that felt overconfident on character tics alone as punchlines. In that sense, "Marry Me" is a fresh start although there's a foreboding that the married couple (Gil and Dennah) are going to turn into an overrated source of comic relief. Gil (part of this fall season's trend of bearded schlubs) is already somewhat grating and raises questions about how he got his attractive wife in the first place.What most impresses me however is the chemistry between the leads. Casey Wilson and Ken Marino are two people that are deserving as starring vehicles and anything that employs underrated character actors Dan Bucatinsky and Tim Meadows gets points in my book. The pilot episode makes it clear that the show already has a strong grasp of it's comic tone. The plot of the failed marriage proposals was good long-form comedy that played out quite well.

I'm already hooked. I Can't remember the last time I seen a "pilot" or regular episode opening that funny in a long time. This show is so non-cliché' and refreshing in todays world of television. The writing is brilliantly gravely smooth and the actors deliver quite well. The content, pacing and timing if it remains the same will never be a half hour wasted. Already a big fan and any writer would be so pleased with the opportunity to work on such a refreshing endeavor as this show. I hope others get engaged as viewers and writers get envious. I also hope the show becomes contagious making others seek out the freshness needed in television. Don't let this one go stale.
