Just Married

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Just Married is a 2003 romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and the late Brittany Murphy.

Tropes used in Just Married include:
  • The Ace: Peter Prentiss.
  • Brick Joke: The stewardess who gets her nose broken by an airplane lavatory door when Tom and Sarah try to join the Mile-High Club.
  • Butt Monkey / Chew Toy: Tom. He gets hit in the head with a 10 lb ashtray and receives a cavity search in an Italian airport, among other things.
  • Dating What Daddy Hates: Sarah's dad (and pretty much her entire family) hates Tom.
  • Designated Villain: Peter, who may even qualify as a Hero Antagonist.
  • Eagle Land: Tom acts like a very stereotypical American tourist who only cares about sports and beer.
  • I Know Karate: Peter tells Tom this. He also pronounces it "ka-ra-TAY".[1]
  • Jerkass: Tom. Also, pretty much everyone in Sarah's family, except her mother.
    • The European lady who pushes Tom and Sarah's rental car off a cliff, then flips them off.
  • Mile-High Club: Tom and Sarah try to join it on their way to Europe. It doesn't go well.
  • The Millstone: Kyle, Tom's immature and loud-mouthed best friend.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Tom and Sarah accuse each other of this towards the end, although to be fair, neither of them were completely innocent.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Tom gets one from Sarah's father and from the snooty manager of the ritzy French hotel they go to.
  • Rich Bitch: Sarah, although her sister is a much better example of this trope.
