Just Married
(2003)

Tom is a sports announcer who comes from blue-collar roots. Sarah is a writer whose family is as wealthy as it is snobbish. Much to her family's--and ex-boyfriend's--horror, Sarah and Tom fall in love and get married. Following their wedding, Tom and Sarah set off for what they expect to be the perfect honeymoon; however, thanks to her conspiring family and vindictive ex, the happy couple experiences the honeymoon from hell. |

Although the makers of this banal offering seem to be aiming for a teen twist on the romantic screwball comedy, the less-than-sparkling results bear a greater resemblance to National Lampoon's European Vacation than, say, What's Up, Doc?. In place of Chevy Chase is Ashton Kutcher (from the abysmal Dude, Where's My Car?) as the handsome, uncultured new husband of well-educated rich kid Brittany Murphy — whose wealthy parents naturally disapprove of her choice of groom. Over the course of a disastrous honeymoon — no more than a series of slapstick vignettes performed in glamorous European locations — they begin to wonder if their marriage can really work. The stars are photogenic and enthusiastic, but the increasingly contrived array of rows, hitches and misunderstandings are brash and charmless. This is one for undemanding rom-com fans only.
