Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher play newlyweds in Shawn Levy’s
gross-out romantic comedy about a honeymoon from hell. (1 hr. 35
mins.; PG-13) —BILGE EBIRI
Spotlight: Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher really does say dude a lot, as it turns out. "I've
been dragged to so many romantic comedies—dude, it's hell for
an hour and a half," says the 24-year-old. Having landed in
Fox's That '70s Show on his first day in L.A., then made
the smash Dude, Where's My Car?, Kutcher is—well, not
branching out, exactly, but applying his trademark goofy humor to
another genre. Just Married is a twisted love story about
a newlywed couple's slapsticky European honeymoon, co-starring Kutcher's
real-life squeeze, Brittany Murphy. "After Dude, I was
getting offered buddy comedy after buddy comedy, but I already did
that kind of movie," he says. "That's why I wanted to
try this. But I still knew I had to make something guys would go
see. Usually, you go to romantic comedies and you're like, That's
not how it is, dude. There was no way I was making some mushy
chick flick. Your girlfriend still might drag you to see it, but
you'll be like, Oh, man, you made me laugh, dude."
