Plot:
Buzzy and Katy are just a regular newlywed couple living their ordinary life. They are very close to the family of Katy's sister (she and her husband) who are leading an unhappy conjugal life. Buzzy regularly visits to a gym which is owned by Katy's sister's husband. Katy's sister and her husband regularly fights with each other  over very small things and whenever they are around Buzzy and Katy stops their fight.

One day, the simple life of Buzzy and Katy gets interrupted when Buzzy’s sister Linda comes to live in their apartment without proper prior notice. Linda leads a bohemian lifestyle, without taking much care about anything. Buzzy loves her younger sister very much, but Linda’s lifestyle doesn’t match with the peaceful lifestyle of the couple and this irritates Katy. For the sake of the peace inside the house, Katy keeps herself from exploding.
  
To make the situation worse, Katy's old boyfriend visits their home one day for some reason and meets Linda, who, starts to see him. He has a lot in common with Linda, but Buzzy has a hard time accepting this relation and asks Linda to get away from it.

The fights between Katy's sister and her husband grows more and more and at at one point, they get separated. After separation, she moves in with Katy which complicates the situation more. She also cannot tolerate Linda and wonders why Katy is letting Linda stay in their house.

 All these things together create irritations between Buzzy and Katy. So, the happy life of Buzzy and Katy gets complicated and they start to think about their marriage all over.

My review about this movie:
I find Newlyweds as just a regular romantic movie, nothing more. It felt nothing special.

The plot is very simple, and at the end, you will find a very predictable conclusion for a romantic movie. The only positive thing about the plot is, it tells the realistic story of a couple, which can happen to anyone.

The acting of all the major characters were okay. Same goes for the dialogues and makeups. 

The characters of Katy’s ex-husband and of her brother in law seems very weird to me. Both of them seemed irregular and unrealistic. The character of Linda is okay, she just portraits a girl who doesn’t care about anything.

In the whole movie, the main characters are seen giving their comments (from being outside of the plot of the movie) about the current situation in every few minutes, which gives the film a documentary-like image. Seriously, I haven’t found any point for this. It could feel better, if the director could tell the stories in a regular way. Leaving this comments parts, the director could add more story in this movie. 

As I said, there is nothing surprising about the ending.

So, overall, I didn’t enjoy watching Newlyweds  I won't recommend it for any reason, but if you still want to watch it……… its your choice.
