Sex and nudity in Just Married
Contains moderate sexual content, innuendo, and crude humor. A newlywed couple's attempts to consummate their marriage are a running gag and are constantly interrupted, including during an attempt on a plane. They are given a sex toy as a gift, and they overhear another couple having loud sex. In one scene, a woman aggressively propositions a main character and briefly pulls off her top in his hotel room, though he rejects her advances. There is kissing and characters are seen shirtless, but no explicit nudity.
Violence and gore in Just Married
Violence is frequent but mostly slapstick and played for comedic effect. A key plot point involves a character accidentally killing a pet dog, though the impact happens off-screen and only the sound is heard.

In one instance of anger, a woman throws a heavy ashtray at a man's head, hitting him.
