Juggling slapstick comedy with witty dialogue and youthful romance, JUST MARRIED provides an entertaining and optimistic glimpse at young relationships and the struggle to stay in love in a world where everything goes wrong. A chance encounter on a beach brings Tom (Ashton Kutcher, DUDE, WHERE`S MY CAR?) and Sarah (Brittany Murphy, 8 MILE) into each other`s lives. They quickly fall in love and agree to get married. Although Sarah`s wealthy family does not approve of their daughter`s fianci, Tom and Sarah believe they can sustain themselves on love, and so they take the matrimonial plunge. As soon as they are married, however, things start to unravel--first in their newlywed suite, next on the airplane to their honeymoon in Italy, then in the five-star Hotel Du Rjve in France. Pretty soon the couple is living out a hellish version of Murphy`s Law, and divorce begins to look hilariously ominous. When Sarah`s old flame shows up at their hotel in Venice to cause further trouble, Tom responds with a jealous outburst that lands the newlyweds in jail. Tom and Sarah survive their misadventures long enough to face the ultimate test of their marriage vows, when each reveals a secret that threatens to spoil their relationship entirely.

Hamlet (DVD)
Kevin Kline directs this 1990 New York Shakespeare Festival production of HAMLET, a production that received great critical acclaim during its stage run. This version was specially produced for television, and all the strengths of the production, mainly its fine cast of daring actors, shine through. Kline stars as Hamlet, the tortured prince, along with Dana Ivey as Gertrude and Brian Murray as Claudius, and this trio of principals take on the classic material with a vigor and freshness rarely seen in other, glossier, filmed versions of the play.NR"

Down and Out in Beverly Hills (DVD)
Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss star as Barbara and Dave Whiteman, a nouveau riche Beverly Hills couple whose entire household is turned upside down with one act of uncharacteristic generosity. On a typically sunny afternoon, Dave spies Jerry (Nick Nolte), a homeless man, attempting to drown himself in their swimming pool. Dave rescues Jerry and then invites him to stay with the family, shocking Barbara, his high maintenance wife; Max (Evan Richards), his disgruntled son; and Carmen (Elizabeth Peqa), his unhappy mistress and maid. The Whiteman household is far from functional with an unsatisfying marriage, a son who communicates only through video footage, a daughter who has escaped to a faraway college, a doggy psychiatrist for their neurotic dog, and a constant stream of gurus for Barbara, who`s trying to find inner peace. Jerry`s unexpected arrival injects a jolt of energy into the sterile Beverly Hills family. He`s charismatic and charming, and before long he has Dave partying with his homeless buddies, Barbara acting out her own wild and crazy sexual fantasies, Max admitting to his private life, and Carmen inciting communist revolt. As Jerry becomes part of the Whiteman family, he thrills them, disappoints them, and ultimately reminds them of what it means to be a family. This charming remake of Jean Renoir`s French farce BOUDU SAVED FROM DROWNING is a clever satire on modern excesses and dysfunctional families. Directed by Paul Mazursky, DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS features outrageous comedic performances from its cast of stars, including Little Richard as a wacko neighbor.R"
