Rating: Summary: Funny, romantic movie. Review: Tom & Sarah (Ashton Kutcher & Brittany Murphy) meet, fall in love and get married, all within nine months..against the wishes of Sarah's friends and family. For their honeymoon, they decide to go to Europe. Right from the time the board the airplane, they have problems. While on the plane, they decide to become members of the 'mile high club'. Nothing goes right and they end up breaking the hostess' nose. When they arrive at their posh hotel in France, Tom forces a plug for a sex toy into the electrical outlet and destroys the wiring. This incident gets them kicked out of the hotel where they have to spend the night inside their very compact car. The real trouble begins when they separate to see different things while in Venice. Peter Prentice, Sarah's ex, is conveniently staying at the same hotel as the happy couple. He finds out that they have gone separate ways for a time and pursues her. Meanwhile, Tom heads to a bar where the Dodgers game is being broadcast and a cute yet ditzy American girl immediately wants to hook up with him. Instead of doing the gentlemanly thing by immediately telling her that he's married, he allows it to fester into a very compromising situation. Tempers flare, conflict ensues and the couple's first premonition is to call it quits. It's a hilarious, yet romantic comedy that you'll want to watch over and over.
Rating: Summary: Bad, But Has Some Redeeming Qualities Review: Most of this movie is just plain not funny. Much of the 'jokes' in the movie revolve around the two characters just being mean to each other. The end of the movie contains a great message about working through problems in marriage, but it is necessary to sit through 80 minutes of shallow characters interacting with each other in unhealthy ways before you get to it. However, that ending is good enough to redeem this movie from being a one star bomb.All in all, the only reason to buy this movie is if you are a hard-core Ashton Kutcher fan.

Rating: Summary: Cheese And Rice!!! Review: I wasn't supposed to like this movie. I didn't think that was going to happen. Even though I like both Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy, I figured this would be a horrible film with no redeeming values. All the usual cliches were there. Young stars in a goofy comedy that looked like a hundred other movies you have seen. Imagine my surprise when I actually began to like this movie. It was definitley enjoyable and bearable because of the two stars. Ashton stars as Tom Lezak, a regular schmo who works as a traffic dj on the radio. During a game of football on the beach, he meets pretty Sarah(Murphy). A girl who seems to be pretty cool until he finds out that she is rich and her dad is owner of a couple football teams. They hit it off and soon are together that very night. The two decide to get married and go off to her uppity, uppity parents. None of her family likes Tom. Not surprisingly. Sarah's ex-boyfriend Peter("Angel"'s Christian Kane)is still around as well. Wouldn't you know it?. The two are hitched and go off on their honeymoon in and around Europe. This is where the true test of their relationship kicks in. Nothing goes right. It is a horrible honeymoon with one bad thing after another. I won't say exactly what happens, so as not to spoil the fun of it. It makes them, and other young couples like them, really start to think about their actions. Did they get married too young?. Too quick?. Do they really know each other well enough to get married?. Who are they?. The whole honeymoon makes the couple face those questions when it seems that they were better off dating and goofing around than being a married couple. Many of the situations you could see coming. I mean, did you really think her slimey, ex-boyfriend was going to stay out of the picture?. No, you didn't. I laughed a few times thru the movie. It was funny in spots. More of the jokes and funny situations that happen are ones that would put a smile on your face more than a hearty laugh. Ashton is great at this type of silly comedy and he has great reactions and mannerism to it. He proves this week after week on "That 70's Show". He has some nice comedic chops when he sticks to this kind of material. I have always liked Murphy, but after this movie, I am totally in love with her. I think everyone else will be too. She is as cute as a button and has incredible personality and presence. She is adorable. They really are a cute couple. They are really the sole reason why this movie is watchable. They are both really charming with great personalities. The movie probably would of been a big stinker like one would of thought it would of been in the first place if they had other, less appealing actors in the main roles. This isn't grand filmmaking, and it's not gonna be remembered much, but it's enjoyable in a ridiculous, fun way to kill an hour and a half. David Rasche, who has a cult following on the 80's TV show "Sledge Hammer", plays Murphy's dad, and Veronica Cartwright from "Alien" and "The Witches Of Eastwick" fame, plays her mom. It is obviously a juvenile little film, but it's harmless. We must keep that part of ourselves where we can just sit back and enjoy such silly things. That's much better than just critcizing other people or the bashing of filmmaking and low IQ's for liking a movie like this. That's ridiculous. This movie is fun for what it is.
Rating: Summary: Who would want to get married? Review: Hollywood cannot get enough of this predictable, formulaic rom-coms - and gets idiots like moi, to line their pockets. Well, for once, it wasn't me who lined their pockets. This was a present. So ha! And yet again, a couple fall in love on set of this movie. How many times does THAT happen? This time it's Ashton & Brittany - who said they were totally committed and rubbish like that, and he's since swapped her for an older woman. Demi over Brittany - right! This was a good rom-com movie, believe me nothing is as bad as Two Weeks Notice. This is told in flashback (similar sort of style to Down To You), so it starts off technically towards the end of the movie, and works backwards, stopping off to see how Tom (Ashton) is feeling along the way. Blah de blah de blah. It's about this couple who get married - against their parents wishes obviously - and then discover they didn't really know that much about each other on their honeymoon. Which goes from one disaster to another, resulting in them never consummating their marriage. Poor them. What a pity. And did I mention she's got her ex (who she slept with and never told her now hubby) chasing after them, trying to make her see the light, that she desperately needs him, rather than Tom? (Although the guy playing her ex, Christian someone, plays the only convincing role in the whole movie.) Basically, this is the movie you should get if you like rom-coms. They take up a pretty decent chunk of my DVDs, but some of them do tend to get slightly tedious after a while. Ho hum. But the one good thing about this movie - the chemistry between Ashton & Brittany, and how cute they look together.
Rating: Summary: Cute Couple Review: Ashton Kutcher(all time hottie) and Brittany Murphy are wonderful in this movie. They play a cute couple who go on a honeymoon which turns hillarious funny. Everything that can go wrong does. They deciede they want a divorce afterwards but that idea changes when Tom (Kutcher) sweet talks here on accident. The movie was so good. I don't want to tell you all that happens but beleive me you have to see it.
Rating: Summary: Waste of film! Review: This movie is boring, weak and nearly plotless. The acting was bad too. Terrible.
Rating: Summary: Just plain stupid! Review: One of my least favorite films ever made. Story is just pointless. Sarah & Todd have a disasterous honeymoon & thats basically it! Although it is not funny at all. Ashton Kutcher & Brittany Murphy at their worst performances ever! Painfully boring & least funny movie. 2 thumbs down!
Rating: Summary: Just Ignore!!!!!!!! Review: This movie has got to be one of the worst films I've seen in a long time!!! I love simple comedies revolving around nothing in particular, but this movie was bad. I didn't laugh once, or chuckled for that matter. Ashton Kutcher should just stick to the 70's show. I don't find him funny anywhere else (remember, Dude, Where's My Car??). Just Married lasted 1/2 hour in my DVD player before I pulled it out due to EXTREME boredom. If Kutcher wasn't such a big name, this film would've never been released otherwise. Avoid, even if you're just going to rent it!!!!
Rating: Summary: Not a Complete Dissapointment Review: "Just Married" isn't as bad as you might here nor is it worse. It a comical sometimes,stupid film about two opposites attracting and getting married and then going on the most diastrous honeymoon you've ever seen in you're life.Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy have great chemistry on screen and they make a cute couple,but the film is about Tom and Sarah.Two complete opposites,Tom is a DJ at a radio station and Sarah is a rich daddy's girl.They meet on a beach and they eventually fall in love and get married.Typical friggin story.Now to them it seems like the perfect marriage.But then something happens.The Honeymoon.Disaster and comical things end up happening but the problem is whoever wrote the movie tried a little to hard to make it funny and succeeded only and turning a great idea into a mostly stupid movie.The movie was a hit,although it carried terrible reviews from all major reviewers and it turned out to be pretty bad,but what do you expect.C- for the movie,B- for the acting.Enjoy!!!
