Editorial Review:
Break out the champagne! This romantic comedy weds warmth and humor in a tale of friendship that bubbles with marital bliss. 'touching and credible (L.A. Weekly), Married to It boasts an all-star castBeau Bridges, Stockard Channing, Robert Sean Leonard, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cybill Shepherd and Ron Silverin a lighthearted film that's at once 'thoughtful, smart, slick, funny [and] entertaining (Joy Brown, WOR Radio)! When three very different couples plan a school pageant, they don't plan on becoming best friends. It couldn't have happened at a better time, though, as they help each other face a series of crises, including resentful children, legal troubles and one husband's (Bridges) fantasies about another's wife (Shepherd)!
Married to It Reviews:
A mostly predictable, cliched film 
2009-12-18 - Although there are a few decent moments here and there in this film, it's mostly one of those comedy-dramas you've seen a million times before. The dialogue and just the situations are very predictable and not too believable. Not a terrible film, but not that good either.
Outstanding Acting in a Supporting Role 
2008-01-29 - What a great acting job by a young man named Jimmy Shea, who played Marty. Some would call it the role of a lifetime. Bravo Jimbo, bravo!
I'm OK, You're OK 
2006-05-14 - This movie is just OK. Which is bad, because all the good actors involved here could have made a great movie together. But not.
The story about 3 diverse couples coming together for a school "60s pageant" could have been relevant, meaningful, poignant and funny. It is none of the above. It could be a Lifetime made-for-TV movie.
There is profound sadness in the scene where Beau Bridges' now-middle-aged hippie character is asked to talk to his son's class about Woodstock, but then is not allowed to talk about WHY - no politics allowed - just the fads, fashions, rock & roll - of My Generation. No Nixon. No Viet Nam. Reducing the 60s to tie-dyed butterflies and bellbottoms stripped of political and sociological context.
No *Big Chill,* it's a lukewarm waste of time and talent. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer
A good time waster
2004-11-20 - This is quite a good cast in service of a so-so story. These three couples have little in common beside the school where they meet at a PTA conference. The acting of Mary Stuart Masterson is first class. In fact the acting of the three female leads keeps the whole thing from descending into a treacly mess. The final scenes with the children performing a school skit to Joni Mitchell's "Circle Game" was amazing. I'm a sucker for happy endings and this movie left me with a a big smile on my face
Unbelievable Cast!
2003-09-18 - This movie is insightful, moving, and profound. Can you believe this cast? Robert Sean Leonard, Beau Bridges, Stockard Channing, Cybil Shephard, Mary Stuart Masterson... How could it be a bad movie with all that talent?
