Just Married (2003) Ashton Kutcher, Brittany Murphy, Christian Kane, David Moscow, Monet Mazur, David Rasche, Thad Luckinbill, Taran Killam, Raymond J. Barry, Veronica Cartwright, D: Shawn Levy.

Young newlywed couple, a radio traffic forecaster and a well-off princess, has the Honeymoon-From-Hell when it takes a disastrous direction in Europe-while the bride's onetime boyfriend pursues her.

Disregarding predictable situations and some chronic physical comedy that shoves past its limits, this is a surprisingly non-desperate farce to say the least. Kutcher and Murphy give it their best to make it likable.

Running Time: 95 minutes and rated PG-13 for sexual content, some crude humor, and a brief drug reference.

RATING: ** ½ (out of ****)

This movie is one that I loved when I was younger. I have found that the older I get, the more I look back on movies from the past and wonder how I ever enjoyed them. Recently rewatched this with my boyfriend who had never seen it, and it was still very enjoyable. It feels effortlessly funny, and not in a way like most "teen comedies" where it uses only bodily functions and sex to do so. Kutcher and Murphy seem to have a natural chemistry that was great for the film, and they're both in their element in this one. It's not going to be the best movie you've ever seen, and it's not meant to be. I wanted to give it a bit higher of a rating, I'd usually go with 7, just BECAUSE my boyfriend liked it because he almost never likes these movies. Definitely worth a watch.

If there's one thing I love, it's Ashton Kutcher, and he was only the icing on the cake. In this cute comedy Tom (Kutcher)and Sarah (Murphy) rush into a marriage, only to experience the honeymoon from hell. it's full of fun characters and fun jokes and is really just fun; I recommend it.

Because, to redefine average, a movie would have to be .. well, more average than average.

I gave this movie a 5, since it held my attention (mostly because Ashton is so cute and seeing glimpses of him shirtless hold attention), but it's certainly nothing memorable.

It's just a ho-hum movie with nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking.

Oh, and I did laugh once. But, I can't even remember when.

AVERAGE!

Newlyweds Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher embark on the honeymoon from hell. Ermmm. That's it.

This movie very much does what it says on the tin. It doesn't claim to be an intellectual journey. It's just a bit of screen candyfloss. But for all that, I'd rate it as one of the better examples of its type.

Why? Because there are enough laughs to keep it going - especially in the first half of the film. And the two leads are likable enough. It has to be said that both look terrific, and Kutcher in particular has developed a very nice style in physical comedy.

The problem with all these kind of movies, for me, is that they tend to drag a bit as they reach the 1hour mark, and then you're sort of waiting for it to end. This is certainly the case here. But if you like to see goodlooking people in reasonably funny romantic situations, you can do a lot worse than this one.
