Review - We're Not Married!

Three of the five marriages are bad ones, and one is clearly dysfunctional because the wife is gone all the time. The only story I enjoyed was seeing Zsa Zsa Gabor suffer as the wife who wanted a huge settlement but got nothing. Anyway, the premise is suspect—since the couples, in good faith, thought they were married, the state would consider them legally married.
