Just Married [HD]

Predictable; Second Half is Funny
I found this movie to have two distinct halves. I somehow did not find it funny when Ashton Kutcher pushed Brittany Murphy near the beginning of the film. Getting liquid all over her front was supposed to be slapstick, but I thought it was cruel and mean, even if they weren't getting along. Because of this beginning, I found it difficult to get into the movie initially.

Our story is an old one. Poor boy meets rich girl. The two fall in love. The families object. The two persist, and get married, and it turns out badly until the end of the movie; sort of like "Romeo and Juliet", only nobody dies, and it's funnier.

However, I didn't get my first laugh until about 22 minutes into the movie. I had to wait until about halfway through the movie before it started to get really funny. The movie was supposed to be funny before that, but the humor was flat. For example, Ashton Kutcher is plugging a sex toy into an electrical outlet. Of course the toy has a plug for 110 volts, and...

Surprising Hit
This movie was a surprise hit with me.

I found it to be very very funny, and Brittany Murphy's laughter in the film is extremely infectious.

Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy were such a great pair.

The extras were pretty average, but the commentary was really inspiring and fun. The film gets 3 stars, but the great DVD commentary gives it major bonus points, equalling 4 stars overall.

Have fun checking it out.

A very well-written, touching romantic comedy.
I was completely surprised to read so many bad reviews about this movie. It's high up on my list of favorite movies. It makes me laugh every time I see it, and it has some incredibly romantic, touching moments. Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy did a fantastic job of portraying newlyweds. I adore this movie and hope people will read this and think about buying it.
