This is a story of a newlywed couple that goes on honeymoon and has to deal with all the issues marriage and personal differences bring.I thought the movie was alright. Loved the actors, they did a good job, very well portraying their characters and made many moments that weren't all that funny worth laughing. They also have great chemistry, apparently they did even date for a while after the movie, I guess real life chemistry helped them in portraying that sweet couple.Now when it comes to problems. I think the movie started getting funny only after the marriage and it took a while until then. While most jokes were predictable and done before it didn't bother me as I enjoyed watching Ashton and Britney do it. My main issue that I think some things were just not too well thought through, like the reason Ashton's character was mad was kind of senseless. Other than that not a bad light movie, nothing special but I had a good time watching it.

Just Married is awesome! I saw it once and fell in love with it. I even went out and bought it! It consists of famous lead actors: Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. I think they're hilarious, with good chemistry. Shawn Levy directs this movie. Another stand-out was Christian Kane who plays Peter Prentiss. His acting is great, and he's funny without trying to be. (Although i might be a little biased since I'm a huge fan of Christian Kane.) There is plenty eye-candy for both male and female, in the forms of Ashton, Brittany, Christian and Willie. The only tragic thing about this movie is that i almost start crying every time i watch, knowing that sweet Brittany is dead. :-( But, all in all, this movie is totally recommended!

Just Married is a pleasant and amusing comedy which relies mainly on Brittany Murphy's looks and Ashton Kutcher's goofy persona to make it work. The premise is a decent one, but it's kind of thin and all done before.Kutcher's a blue collar guy who works at a radio station and gives traffic reports during the graveyard shift. His favorite things in life are hamburgers and the Los Angeles Dodgers, though he sounds like he would have been at home in Ebbets Field back in the day. He keeps meeting Murphy first at an airport and then they have a series of coincidental meetings that might have dampened anyone's enthusiasm. But the old chemistry gets to working and they're in love.She's also rich and one of the things that father David Rasche owns is a piece of the Dodgers. But he's not crazy about his new prospective son-in-law and neither is her brother Thad Luckenbilll. They had in mind Christian Kane, a yuppie from the proper background who didn't move fast enough to close the deal with Murphy. Never mind that, he's not defeated yet.Kutcher and Murphy are wedded and then go on the honeymoon from hell starting at the Alps and ending in Venice. The two of them, especially with their different backgrounds take a lot of getting used to each other and forgiving past situations.For me it was hard to believe that the 20 something beautiful Brittany Murphy is so recently among the departed. She and Kutcher were an item during the making of Just Married so their scenes take on a special poignancy now. As for Ashton, he could be the son of Michael Kelso his good looking, but clueless character from That Seventies Show. He's goofy and funny in his way, but he shouldn't be one to carry an entire film.

It got the term "consumer goods" all over it. Yes, it's a romantic comedy, yet the hasty romantic comedy of the 2000s. Despite its well points, it's poor and unfunny.Strangely that both (Ashton Kutcher) and (Brittany Murphy) were sweet and skillful, but with each other the chemistry was so wrong. By all means, they weren't (Tom Hanks) and (Meg Ryan), or even close. Not to mention how (Murphy)'s performance surpassed (Kutcher) by miles; bad irony I know.True that it had European sceneries but nothing was dazzling. You'd sense executive dealing with the whole thing without even some sensitivity to serve the romantic part of it. That would've made it prettier, deeper, and live longer than 1 week after watching ! And as for the "comedy" part, it looked whether weak or gross-out. Of course, it was all predictable because the characters were all stereotypes without some different actions or unique details (like they were writing out of another movies not from true experiences !). Look at the way all the problems got solved at the end : 2 or 3 wise phrases from the prom's father to his son, then another 2 from the prom to his bride ! I told you earlier : it's hasty, shall I say naive too. Nothing was as masterly as the beginning's sequence at the airport; that was laughable as well as disappointing if you compared it to the complete deal after.Is it a romantic comedy concerning rarely the marriage with international backgrounds and 2 young cute stars ? No, it's the hoax of that, or mercifully, the very laconic embodiment of it.Why they didn't produce it as direct-to-video movie ? I think because the names of its stars. But even if, it managed to be a direct-to-forgettable one !
