Review of Newlyweds (2011) by Niklas S — 16 Jul 2012

This movie is a parity of relationships and underscores the meaninglessness of marriages, at least as practiced by western society. It reminded me faintly of "Husbands and Wives" by Woody Allan, but I didn't find it nearly as funny or interesting as Woody's masterpiece.

Also it dragged quite a bit. By the end I had become mildly annoyed by the ridiculous melodrama and was hoping they'd just wrap the sappy mess up soon. Still, I did laugh quite a bit during it, sometimes with the plot of the movie and sometimes at the absurdity of the plot, so I'll be generous and give it 3 out of 5 stars.

You could do worse for an evening of melodrama.
