Can a new marriage survive meddling friends, disapproving families, and some of the worst accommodations in Europe? That's the question posed in this
broad comedy.
Tom Leezak (
Ashton Kutcher) is a regular guy who likes sports and beer and tries to make ends meet working as a nighttime radio traffic reporter.
Sarah McNerney (
Brittany Murphy) is a beautiful young woman from a wealthy and privileged family who is trying to make a name for herself as a writer.
Tom and
Sarah have seemingly nothing in common, but that doesn't stop them from falling in love.
Sarah's family doesn't much care for
Tom's boorish ways, and
Tom's buddies think
Sarah is too highbrow for him, but, if anything, this makes the couple all the more determined to be together, and they decide to get married and head off to Italy for a month-long honeymoon despite the pleas of those closest to them. However, even after the knot is tied,
Sarah's former beau,
Peter Prentiss (
Christian Kane), is dead set upon breaking up the happy couple, though as it turns out, a seemingly endless stream of bad luck and post-marital jitters may do the job for him.
Just Married was written by
Sam Harper, who claims to have loosely based the script on his own experiences on an ill-starred European honeymoon with his wife; fortunately, the couple's marriage survived the experience.
