A little too lacking in sophistication to really stand out.

Reviews for Just Married
Top Critic"Just Married," the first release of 2003, isn't totally awful. It just manages to squeak by as awfully average.
01/09/03
A rare romantic comedy that's actually romantic and comic.
01/09/03
Even when this sitcom about honeymooners in hell was recycling lame jokes from National Lampoon's European Vacation, Kutcher retained a doofus dignity that made me laugh.
01/09/03
Top CriticThe gags fall into four categories: (a) stale, (b) dumb, (c) vaguely tasteless or (d) all of the above.
01/09/03
Just Married skates by, just barely, because of the sly, funny, sexy Murphy and the appealing Kutcher.
01/09/03
Long stretches without supporting characters while the newlyweds are on the road will probably make you as sick of Tom and Sarah as they are of each other by the time the honeymoon's over.
01/09/03
Collapses into the most generic sort of teen movie-ville, just at the moment it's convinced you that its lightly appealing stars are capable of better.
01/09/03
Top CriticI laughed exactly once during the whole film.
01/09/03
Top CriticJust terrible...a witless, moronic bore.
01/09/03
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.
01/09/03
A colossal, time-wasting flop that is offensive to every fiber of my very being.
01/09/03
Brings to mind a sitcom family sitting around the couch reminiscing via a lazy clip montage.
01/07/03
Spared a straight-to-video burial by virtue of a charming performance by Ashton Kutcher.
01/06/03
To paraphrase that old bit of wedding wisdom, there's plenty that's old, very little that's new, a lot of stuff that's borrowed and the result might leave you blue -- especially if you pay the better part of $10 to see it.
01/05/03
In need of a script doctor, stronger direction, and a different leading man. Except for those minor shortcomings, it’s not half bad.
01/03/03
The filmmakers themselves betray a lack of knowledge about the Old World, while unfailingly repeating physical hijinks one time too many.
01/03/03
Top CriticDirector Shawn Levy clearly wants to target teens and young adults, but the demographic engineering feels forced, turning potentially funny situations into lame physical bits.
01/03/03
Top CriticLacks the momentum or care needed to make it genuinely romantic, consistently humorous, or an insightful portrait of just-marrieds.
