Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Arthur Hiller directed this muddied comic study of the marital crises of three different couples who are close friends. It's an odd mix of honesty and dishonesty, cliché and insight. Rated: 2/4 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Louis Black Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Married to It has its heart in the right place, and wants desperately to shed light and sympathy on the challenges of modern marriage, but the screenplay marches from scene to scene as if solving a jigsaw puzzle. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Neil Cohen Echo Magazine Rated: 1/5 Jul 29, 2007 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Rated: 2/5 Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 23, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member One of the most boring movies I've ever seen. There's nothing particularly awful about it, but it's so dull that I was able to catch up on my emails without missing anything. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't understand why the reviews for this are so awful. I thought this movie and the acting was fantastic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This was rubbish! Nothing actually happens, it's all about relationships and that. BORING! Also has the worst ending of any film ever. It does feature a woman with giant red 1980s glasses though. They were entertaining for a few seconds. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member These people convinced me that they are REAL people, a bit exaggerated to be sure, but these couples CAN happen. In today's society, on your own street, we can have various levels of economic prosperity. A poignant comedy about three contemporary married couples whose lives become intertwined despite their radically different lifestyles and past. Radically different jobs, upbringing, social status. They are brought together by their children's, or step-child's in one case, school play. The play centers around the 60's, something 2 of 3 couples know anything about first hand. This is one fantastic story about the way things are, not as we would have them. Try going to other strangers homes and have a conversation. That's our couples situation at first, but they meld pretty well despite their present lives which are quite different. In the end, all that glamour wears off and each couple finds their marriages in real trouble for several reasons each encounter through the film. I found this film entirely watchable and indeed, recomendable. If you are adult enough to appreaciate the human situation, one of good times and really bad times... check this out. Ultimately, the title: Married To It, simply means you married it, you deal with it. If marriage means anything, it means hanging on, no matter what or whatever, because the alternative has no satisfaction for sure either.
