Tom (Ashton Kutcher) and Sarah (Brittany Murphy) are two lovebirds from different worlds. He's an average guy with a fondness for beer who works a low-level job, while she's an aspiring writer from a wealthy and cultured family. The disapproval of family and friends doesn't prevent the pair from marrying, but their disastrous honeymoon in Italy, with an unwelcome appearance by Sarah's ex-boyfriend, Peter (Christian Kane), nearly succeeds in tearing them apart.

Critics Consensus

Just Married's plot is predictable, and the overdone pratfalls get tiresome.

Murphy has no comic timing and Kutcher overcompensates.

Behind The Lens

[A] strained, forced, uncomfortable and unfunny attempt at comedy.

Fat Guys at the Movies

a bizarre mixture of original comedy with fresh delivery and painfully old gags

The truth at the heart of Just Married is an important one -- it does take more than love to make a marriage work -- but it's not one you need to watch the movie to learn.

Rated: 2/4

3.5 stars - it's good for its genre! The scenes capture the humor well, good chemistry between the leads, even if Ashton Kutcher does overact at times in an almost B-level way. But he nails a lot of the comedy well, so all is forgiven, haha. Brittany Murphy was the star here and did a great job playing the "girl caught between two worlds," and the honeymoon's situational comedy was engaging and entertaining even if unbelievable. but thats part of this rom-com genre anyways! This will appeal to those who like this genre and makes for a good movie night for that specific audience.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Everything goes wrong in Just Married. Tells the story of a man (Ashton Kutcher) and a woman (Brittany Murphy) who fall in love and get married quick but soon realize that things are too complicated. The acting and chemistry between Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy are quite enjoyable for this romantic comedy but only if it had a better script. The writing is what confuses me and all the questionable decisions the characters make throughout the entire movie. The art direction at some points of the movie look in a way cheesy, lame, and fake. Just Married is just not that funny and is just mediocre at best.
