Hackneyed star-brite Brittany Murphy-Ashton Kutcher rom-com.

Rubbery-faced Kutcher is a nice match for Murphy, and their chemistry keeps the movie afloat even when the gags stretch thin.

Just uninspired and mostly unfunny.

Plays like a dumbed-down version of a formula that's already had most of the smartness wrung out of it.

Yes, it's as bad as it looks.

A veritable orgy of strained physical gags, inane vulgarity and poor comic timing.

Immature and annoying; the jokes are tired.

The outside seat-fillers at the screening happily ate up every unsurprising, unfunny second, but that doesn't mean that you have to.

Besides the sub-par script the problem is that Kutcher and Murphy have zero chemistry.

...it's the paper-thin characters and utterly predictable storyline that does the film in.

...banal chatter, glaring insults, and juvenile slapstick. It's only the movie's PG-13 rating that saves it from being grossly crude, as well.

...nails the lowest possible IQ in the audience by being as insipid as it is boring.

A pleasant, undemanding date movie.

Audience Reviews for Just Married

Semi-fun movie that's really not that good. Filled with smelly cheese. Little Josh Baskin from "Big" plays Ashton Kutcher's best man, he still looks the same which is weird because he's supposed to look like Tom Hanks now.

The ending was sweet. Not that funny. But some scenes are kinda funny.

    2. Tom Leezak: I am flooring it. If i push any harder my foot would blow through the floor and we would be Flinstoning our asses there.
