JUST
MARRIED chronicles the
beleaguered romance of Tom
Leezak (ASHTON KUTCHER) and
Sarah McNerney (BRITTANY
MURPHY), a young couple
unexpectedly swept off their
feet after their first meeting.
Tom is a late night radio
traffic reporter whose good
looks, blue collar lifestyle and
unrelenting passion for sports
makes him the ultimate
alpha-male. Sarah is a
beautiful, free-spirited writer
whose family is as wealthy as it
is snobbish.
Much to the surprise of Tom’s
friends and the dismay of
Sarah’s family, the two
quickly fall in love. Tom’s
attempts to assimilate himself
into Sarah’s world of
privilege and expectations fall
short, but Sarah ignores her
father and sister’s incessant
attempts to dissuade her from
following her heart and marrying
her knight in rusty armor.
Following their wedding,
the happy couple sets off with
the highest of hopes and ideals
about love and marriage, on what
they expect will be the perfect
vacation in
Italy
. But thanks to Sarah’s
wealthy ex-boyfriend and a
relentless string of bad luck,
the happy couple experiences a
honeymoon from hell that tests
the limits of their young love.
JUST MARRIED was inspired by
screenwriter Sam Harper’s
chaotic experiences on his own
honeymoon in
Italy
, fifteen years ago. “My wife
and I started fighting on the
first night on our honeymoon,”
laughs Harper. “We had a
month in
Italy
with all these great places to
stay and see, but we were at
each other throats the entire
time. By the end of the
honeymoon, she was staring at me
with a look of buyer’s
remorse. “Thankfully,”
Harper adds, “my wife and I
are still happily married. "
