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.

Critics Consensus

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

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

Bahad j The idea behind this movie moved me a lot, but it was a movie with really satisfying expectations Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Uynga U i'm waiting for my average man too 😄😄 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Peter P 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 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 34 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Ashton Kutcher and the late Brittany Murphy as newlyweds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Andre G Great movie very funny.
