We Married Margo is a comedy movie from the year 2000, directed by J.D. Shapiro, who also plays the lead role. The movie revolves around the character of Margo, who is an ambitious, attractive and successful woman. The movie focuses on Margo and how her life changes after she marries two different men, in two separate storylines. In the first storyline, Margo marries Jack, played by William Dozier. Jack is a struggling screenwriter, who writes a script about his marriage with Margo. Jack believes that their marriage has become mundane and boring, and he decides to add spice to their relationship by writing a fictional script about their marriage, in which they have all sorts of wild adventures. Jack's plan almost backfires, as Margo begins to take the script seriously and starts behaving in a very different way than she used to.

In the second storyline, Margo marries J.D. Shapiro, played by himself. J.D. is a writer and director, who is fascinated by Margo's life and decides to make a movie about her. He convinces Margo to let him make a movie about her, and their relationship becomes the basis for the film. However, J.D. loses track of his own storyline and begins to mix Margo's real-life experiences with his fictional ideas.

Both storylines result in unexpected and hilarious situations, as the characters struggle to keep up with the increasingly surreal scenarios they find themselves in. The movie is a highly entertaining satire on the entertainment industry, with a lot of inside jokes and references to the filmmaking process.

The movie also explores the idea of marriage and relationships. While Margo is presented as a successful and independent woman, she also struggles with finding a balance between her personal and professional life. The movie portrays Margo's relationships with Jack and J.D. as being driven by her need for companionship and validation, rather than love.

The movie is well-acted, with all the lead actors giving convincing performances. J.D. Shapiro, who also wrote and directed the movie, brings a lot of his own experiences to the character he plays, and his performance is a highlight of the movie. William Dozier also holds his own, playing the role of the struggling writer who uses his own life as inspiration for his work. Jillian Johns, who plays Margo, brings the perfect mix of charm and ambition to her character, making her a relatable and likable protagonist.

The movie has a fast-paced and light-hearted tone, with a lot of witty and memorable dialogue. The humor is often self-referential and tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at the entertainment industry and its conventions. The movie also uses a lot of visual gags and slapstick humor, adding to its overall comedic effect.

We Married Margo is a movie that will appeal to fans of comedies, as well as those interested in the entertainment industry. Its unique storyline, sharp writing and strong performances make it a must-watch for anyone looking for a fun and entertaining movie.
