Pretty Brittany Murphy and prettier Ashton Kutcher make a surprisingly enjoyable comic team in Just Married, a romantic comedy about a horrible honeymoon. After a whirlwind romance, radio traffic announcer Kutcher and rich girl Murphy get married over the objections of her upper-crust family. Their love can overcome snobbery--but as the cuddly pair start to drive each other nuts over mishaps traveling through Europe, it starts to look like their love can't overcome intimacy. Just Married has a sprightly script that keeps one foot on the ground (unlike some recent romantic comedies that seem to have no connection to reality) and one eye on the small ways in which lovers can get on each other's nerves. Kutcher (Dude, Where's My Car?) and Murphy (Clueless, 8 Mile) have a sweet yet volatile chemistry that keeps the antics lively. --Bret Fetzer2) Description

Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5
1) Chick flick with occasional moments [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Sometimes you have to watch your gal's picks...These two do have some chemistry, and there are moments of humor. But it's mostly a celebration of idiocy without the entertainment that might engender. Oh well...2) Funny movie - I liked it [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a light, funny movie, and I really liked it. Some of the antics were a little over the top, but it was that type of movie. I liked the story, and I thought the two main characters were sweet together.3) THE WORST FILM EVER [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Fortunately I downloaded this movie instead of paying for it - I thought it would be a bit of lighthearted entertainment...HOWEVER.THIS MOVIE WAS SO BAD I WANTED TO TEAR IT OUT OF MY HARD DRIVE AND DEFECATE ON IT.Brittany Murphy gives a nauseating, simpering performance and the best that can be said about Ashton Kutcher is that he performs the role adequately, (bringing into consideration that no acting skills are needed for such an emotionless, contrived piece of soppy BS as this film was).The plot is stupid and unrealistic, although there are a few funny moments they IN NO WAY make up for the complete waste of time that the rest of the film is.IF YOU LIKE THIS FILM YOU HAVE A LUMP OF CHEESE WHERE YOUR BRAIN SHOULD BE.And a small lump of cheese at that.4) A few laughs but where's the romance? [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Just Married starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy is somewhat enjoyable but it's not one of those movies you can watch time and time again. It's kinda hard to fathom the two stars used to date because their chemistry in front of the camera is pretty lacklaster. She had more chemistry with Ron Livingston in Little Black Book. There some funny moments, and it's interesting all the ways they can't consumate the marriage, surprises and distractions keeps delaying the inevitable. It's not a terrible film but nothing worthy of praise.5) Nothing in this film to like [Rating: 1 out of 5]
The supporting cast of the movie largely consists of one-dimensional stereotypes (WASPs have silly pet names! Chinese poeple talk funny!) -- but, sadly, they're more amusing than the lead parts. Ashton Kutcher's Tom is an uncultured dimbulb -- but he makes up for that by being petulant, whiny, selfish, and short-tempered. His wife says that she loves him, but it's hard to understand why -- apart from a nice smile, he has nothing to recommend him.Most of the gags in the movie are third-rate retreads of other Americans-in-Europe movies (They have tiny cars! French people are snooty!). Amazingly, this is actually a worse entry to the genre than "National Lampoon's European Vacation".The best metaphor for the movie is the tiny car the couple drive when they arrive in Europe. It's slow-moving, underpowered, and you'll wish you hadn't rented it. (Oh, and it's not a place you'd like to be trapped with Ashton Kutcher).
