0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around – characters, music, theme, storyline, etc.Newlyweds
This is a movie that makes one think about what marriage really is, since there are five marriages in this movie. Buzzy and Katie are newlywed, both on their second marriage [marriages #1, 2, 3]. Katie's sister Marsha is married to Max (one of Buzzy's fitness workout clients) [#4].
Buzzy made a comment to Marsha and Max that 18 years married is a successful marriage, since many marriages do not last that long nowadays. Marsha and Max had married because they were expecting a child {married 4 months pregnant} and since their kid was in college, both Marsha and Max started doubting and mistrusting each other.
Buzzy's half sister Linda flies in from L.A. to visit Buzzy (living with him and Katie while she stays, much to Katie's dismay). She finds out that her ex has already married [#5], though they've been separated for only 10 months. On top of that, he still loves her but his now-wife is expecting their first child. Of course, Linda needs company so she goes for a one night stand with Katie's ex named Dara.
The emotions fly and the questions are asked. What is a marriage and how should it be? How can a couple survive together? Should one marry just because a child is coming in to the world and, if so, should they divorce and move on once the kid is on to college? What should be told between a husband and wife? What should be kept secret and what should be told right up front?
I think this was a very good movie. Very thought provoking and insightful. It was a comedy drama movie but it was not very "comedial" since they constantly had the characters talking to the camera telling what they thought about situations and people.
5/5 - Highly recommended, especially for those who want to eventually get married. Marriage is a hard thing to do and hard thing to keep together in this world - one needs to think thoroughly about it before jumping into wedlock. This movie helps one think about marriage and what it should be.
