Synopsis: Juggling slapstick comedy with witty dialogue and youthful romance, JUST MARRIED provides an entertaining and optimistic glimpse at young relationships and the struggle to stay in love in a world... Juggling slapstick comedy with witty dialogue and youthful romance, JUST MARRIED provides an entertaining and optimistic glimpse at young relationships and the struggle to stay in love in a world where everything goes wrong. A chance encounter on a beach brings Tom (Ashton Kutcher, DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?) and Sarah (Brittany Murphy, 8 MILE) into each other's lives. They quickly fall in love and agree to get married. Although Sarah's wealthy family does not approve of their daughter's fiancé, Tom and Sarah believe they can sustain themselves on love, and so they take the matrimonial plunge. As soon as they are married, however, things start to unravel--first in their newlywed suite, next on the airplane to their honeymoon in Italy, then in the five-star Hotel Du Rêve in France. Pretty soon the couple is living out a hellish version of Murphy's Law, and divorce begins to look hilariously ominous. When Sarah's old flame shows up at their hotel in Venice to cause further trouble, Tom responds with a jealous outburst that lands the newlyweds in jail. Tom and Sarah survive their misadventures long enough to face the ultimate test of their marriage vows, when each reveals a secret that threatens to spoil their relationship entirely. [More]

Unashamedly resorting to the knock in the head more times than I think I've ever seen in a picture, this film still manages to hit a truly funny moment one in every ten or so tries.

Spared a straight-to-video burial by virtue of a charming performance by Ashton Kutcher.

No es de esas películas que se vayan a recordar durante mucho tiempo, pero logra su propósito de entretener durante poco más de 90 minutos, a pesar de lo simplista que pudiera parecer su historia en una primera impresión.

Ditches the expected route and comes out surprisingly original and endearing.

None of (the) problems impede the movie's funny concept and fun performances -- and that's what counts.

The film has the age group 16-24 written all over it. But come on, folks, even good intentions to capture a certain market can't make up for a downright silly movie.

The gags fall into four categories: (a) stale, (b) dumb, (c) vaguely tasteless or (d) all of the above.

The film's insistence that these two kids belong together for eternity should persuade only the credulous and unmarried. (I give them six months, personally.)

There are some movies that are good, there are some movies that are bad, and there are some movies that are made tolerable simply because the stars seem to be having fun. Just Married is all three.

The sort of eighties teensploitation falderal that wasn't good to begin with and is somewhere just north of repugnant now.

Has about as much flow, timing, and inspirational humor as statistical research.

"Just Married," the first release of 2003, isn't totally awful. It just manages to squeak by as awfully average.

Resorts to pratfalls and other familiar bits that, while occasionally funny, somehow make it all just a little too formulaic to really lock on.

Unlikely to sweep viewers off their feet.

In the end, a few genuinely funny moments aside, the script is simply too predictable and unvarying to earn the viewer's loyalty.

A high cuteness quotient does not a movie make.

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

If I had been a wedding guest, instead of throwing rice, I would have thrown something more substantial - like a 10-pound ashtray.
