YMMV / Just Married

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Tom and Peter. We could argue that Tom is a rough-around-the-edges yet devoted husband and that Peter is a conniving homewrecker. On the other hand, some say that Tom is a Jerkass with no real future and that Peter is better suited for Sarah both financially and personality-wise.
  • Awesome Moments: The movie looks like it's building to Sarah possibly falling for Peter, who then kisses her. She breaks the kiss, snaps "I'm on my honeymoon!" and gives him a well-deserved slap.
  • Critic-Proof: Despite negative reviews, it earned $101 million worldwide.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Peter given that he's played by Christian Kane, and some feel he's a better match for Sarah than Tom. Even though he essentially stalks a woman who has no interest in him beyond a one night stand ages ago - and makes a pass at her while she's on her honeymoon. Sarah was also drunk when this happened, making Peter an attempted date rapist too.
  • Funny Moments:
    • Tom and Sarah attempt to join the Mile High Club...but the bathroom they chose was previously used by someone whose Mexican food didn't agree with him. Their attempts result in a poor stewardess getting her nose broken.
    • As Tom and Sarah see how rundown the pensione in Venice is, Tom tries to rally her by saying they're in this together. Sarah remarks "do you have five guys staring at your boobies right now?"
    • Their attempt at doing it in said pensione is interrupted by Tom finding a cockroach on his chest. They then end up crashing through the wall into another room.
    • When Peter comes into the room after the attempted kiss of Sarah, Tom pulls out a fire poker and says "welcome to the honeymoon from hell" - it's Ashton Kutcher's delivery that sells it.
    • On the flight back home, Tom runs into the same stewardess whose nose he broke on the flight over there.
    • When Tom is about to ram the gates, Sarah's brother Willie threatens to call the police. Tom maniacally says "bring em on, Willie!"
    • Sarah's mother insists that Tom can call her 'Pussy'. Like a cat.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • Sarah sees Tom making a romantic speech about how much he loves her. He's not even doing it to appease her; he's appealing to her family as a son-in-law. She unlocks the gates herself, rushes outside and makes up with him. Her family also gives them their blessing.
    • Also Bernardo, the elderly widower who Sarah meets. When Peter is trying to seduce Sarah, Bernardo gives her some comfort by telling her the first months are the hardest. Given the difficulties so far on the honeymoon, it's clear she's touched by this, even though Peter tries to change the subject, saying Bernardo is a bit of a romantic, with Sarah saying she loves that.
  • Moe: Sarah is an adult version, made cute and Adorkable by Brittany Murphy's charm.
  • One-Scene Wonder:
    • Wendy who only appears in two scenes, yet provides a lot of Fanservice and turns out to be an Ethical Slut.
    • Also the old woman who leaves Tom and Sarah stranded in the snow, while also Flipping the Bird.
  • Why Would Anyone Take Him Back?: Both Tom AND Sarah. They've only known each other for a few months, have very little in common besides being pretty and sexually attracted to each other, and they've both ostensibly cheated in the few months they've been together. Why are we cheering for them again?
