an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreJust Married is directed by Shawn Levy and tells the tale of two lovebirds named Tom and Sarah(played by Ashton Kutcher and the late Brittany Murphy)who get married and go off on their honeymoon to spend their time being newlyweds. Of course both of them are from different backgrounds as Sarah's parents don't approve of Tom while Tom works in a low end job. So the film is being told in flashbacks.During the course of the movie the pair go and find a place to stay for their honeymoon. But what happens after this ends up being a disaster as every place they stay in is a nightmare for them both. One place they were staying at the electricity blew up as Tom was trying to plug in a device into the wall using a EC electric plug. While the next place the place falls a sunder and of course Sarah meets her former fiancé played by Christian Kane later in the film. Think of this as Some Mothers Do Have 'Em and you litreally get this film. The film to its credit is very funny and I liked the cast in this film. Luckily it was on Cable a few nights ago as I haven't seen it in a very long time. If you like screwball romantic comedies and you like the actors that are in this film then check it out and see it for yourself. Good
View MoreJust Married does little to surprise its audience. It caters to all the clichés of people marrying impulsively, as well as many old regurgitated classics of Hollywood's idea about romantic comedy. Arguably, it's still entertaining, because it's based on a tried and true recipe, but don't expect anything else. However, don't be shocked, the scenario calls, many times, on the "lie" trick to push the story from one drama to an other.Ashton Kutcher wears his over the top comedy style of That's 70s Show, but Brittany Murphy seems to want to stay away from her hysterical persona that are part of many of her romantic films. It makes the piece watchable.You want brain dead entertainment, you've never seen it, and you have a free night, this might be for you.
View MoreThis romantic comedy has marvelous chemistry between Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. This supposedly ideal couple wed before they really get to know each other. A disastrous honeymoon follows and the two return from Europe as embittered people ready to divorce.The film is a good one as it highlights the lack of maturity that couples face when they marry. Of course, in the film, this is sensationalized by the comic going on during that awful honeymoon.It also shows that there will be problems when one of the newlyweds comes from wealthy parents with a father who is suspicious of the Kutcher character as he lacks finesse and of course may not be good enough for his precious daughter.The flaw in the film may be the exaggerated outrage of a honeymoon. Of course, it's comedy so you have to expect nearly anything.Of course in the end, love conquers all.
View MoreI hate Ashton Kutcher. Why he is a star is beyond me; just looking at him irritates me, because he comes across as just a big doofus. So as you have probably guessed, I didn't enjoy this movie very much. His character here is very irritating. When his character is in Europe and starts basically shouting to the Europeans in one scene "I'm American! I know what's right!", I just *cringed*. (No, I'm not American, but the scene just embarrassed me all the same.) As for Brittany Murphy, I haven't seen her in anything else, so this was my first exposure to her. Though she shows some talent here, the script hurts her and Kutcher by making their characters both idiots. Why should we care about idiots having misfortune after misfortune on their honeymoon? If they were smart, the movie possibly could have been funny. But they aren't, so the movie isn't.
