About This Movie

Just Married (1928) is one of those films that captures the chaotic essence of early romantic comedies. Directed by Frank R. Strayer, it has this bouncy rhythm, mixing slapstick with a touch of melodrama. The pacing is lively, with a series of comedic misadventures as the young girl navigates her feelings and those outrageous situations with her past acquaintance. The performances have this charming awkwardness, typical of the silent era, enhancing the film's lighthearted tone. It's interesting how the film plays with themes of love and societal expectations, wrapped in a playful atmosphere. The practical effects, particularly in the comedic sequences, showcase the ingenuity of the time. Not groundbreaking, but definitely a fun snapshot of its era.
