The best thing I can say about Newlyweds is that I hope there's a sequel because I'm really curious about what will happen to these characters five years down the line.

Variety

As [Burns'] characters grow older and more entrenched in borrowed luxury (Buzzy is a physical trainer who married into money), their charm wears increasingly thin.

Okay, so he's not Woody Allen. That's setting the bar a bit too high. But for Burns, he's never been better.

Ed Burns proves that with a good script, good actors, and good performances, a good movie can be made for $10,000. I was definitely surprised by Newlyweds. The characters and ideas in this story really kept me interested.

Another movie I meant to watch a lot sooner, but it was a let down. I like Ed Burns' movies usually, a lot better than this one anyway. Not a big fan of when the camera is talked into and acknowledged at all most of the time. Didn't work for me in this movie especially. The story was way too predictable even for a supposed romantic comedy. The characters weren't very likable or unlikable but in an interesting way. Some of the dialogue was good at points but not very often and almost never funny. The setting of NY always helps a small independent movie like this one. Was hoping for better.

Not bad, but definitely sad to watch, given the state of most relationships/marriages out there. A pretty decent movie though, with a rather basic plot-line, but interesting characters and good acting.

"Newlyweds" a defining point why divorce rates have skyrocketed. No need to bother seeing this.
