As [Burns'] characters grow older and more entrenched in borrowed luxury (Buzzy is a physical trainer who married into money), their charm wears increasingly thin.

Burns's faux-documentary style allows space for some wickedly revealing confessions, while jump cuts accentuate his characters' rapid-fire showdowns.

It has both the charms and the shortcomings of the indie fringe.

Newlyweds is funny, but never at the expense of its ideas. Whereas most relationship comedies these days are contrived and dopey, this one strives to be more truthful, and it succeeds. A solid, insightful human comedy.

Edward Burns perfects the art of movie conversation with tangy wit, tapping into the rich tapestry of urban culture teeming in his body of work.

Just curious ... was this low-budget indie sponsored by Heineken? It's in just about every scene.

With the exception of the main character, Buzzy(Edward Burns), they are all a bunch of self absorbed assholes!!!! I guess the movie was made like that on purpose but it was still an hour and a half of my life I will never get back.
