Shot almost exclusively in New York City's TriBeCa neighborhood, Newlyweds is a chronicle of modern marriage, pointing out an essential truth: when you get married, you're not just getting a husband or wife--you're getting the family, the friends and even the exes. With crackling humor and sharp insights into contemporary relationships, director Edward Burns (Purple Violets, The Brothers McMullen) tracks a newly wedded couple whose honeymoon period is upended by the arrival of the husband's wild-child baby sister and the crumbling marriage of the wife's meddlesome sister.
