Synopsis

New Yorkers Paul and Meryl Morgan seem to have it all -- except that their marriage is crumbling around them. But their romantic woes are small compared to the trouble they find themselves in after witnessing a murder. To protect them from an assassin, federal agents whisk away Paul and Meryl to a small town in Wyoming, where their marriage will crash and burn, or their passion will reignite.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
stevecramer-27727 This is a Parker movie and a female justice warrior too....Hugh Grant was played as a 3rd rate B beta semi-male. Hugh's character and movie is played to help change society idea of male roles on this planet.Grant's character is weak, afraid and useless. Can't shoot, can't cut wood, can't protect himself or the people around him, can't earn a living in this movie (a lawyer they mentioned in pasting). Bad guy shows up he whines and hides and the real 'man' (Parker) goes for the rifle and protects. A Bear show up, he whines, cries and is a complete lose...until Parker shows up and saves him. At the Rodeo he's the bulls ass and again, Parker is the head bull. This women movie shows how far women are ahead of men in all departments of human development...its shocking.
srdjan_veljkovic There's nothing very good about the movie, except the jokes. Granted, most of them are based on the "how city folks can't handle the country", so, if you just don't like those kind of jokes, they won't appeal to you. But, if you take them for what they are, they are good.The story, the acting, the directing, the pace... all of it is mostly bland and mediocre. But the jokes, while being mostly single-themed, are very diverse in their set-up, punchline-point, execution.Yes, Hugh Grant does seem to just "go through the motions", "doing his thing", but, in many jokes, his performance is "part of the joke". Similar goes for the rest of the cast, though Sarah Jessica Parker does seem to try to do something somewhat specific for this part - unfortunately, she fails to render an interesting performance.Bottom line, it's quite entertaining and worth a watch - unless you simply don't like making fun of city folks in a country setting.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" is a typical cliché chick flick, a soggy romantic comedy that tries to incorporate comedy. But the end result was a fairly tame and forgettable result.The story is about separated couple Paul Morgan (played by Hugh Grant) and Meryl Morgan (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) who witness a murder and have to go into witness protection in a very unfamiliar environment far away from their familiar environment of New York. Being flown to Wyoming, the couple are left in the custody of Clay Wheeler (played by Sam Elliott) and Emma Wheeler (played by Mary Steenburgen).Storywise, then "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" did have some potential here and there, but it ultimately failed because there was no chemistry between Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, and most scenes between them came off as horribly forced and unnatural.It was actually the performance of Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen that carried the movie.For a romantic comedy, then "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" was a movie that came and passed without leaving a mark anywhere.
blanche-2 "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" is a pleasant comedy from 2009 starring Hugh Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sam Elliott, and Mary Steenburgen.I had only heard dreadful things about this film. I think to have paid to see it in the movies, it would have been disappointing. Seeing it on DVD, it wasn't bad at all.Parker and Grant are a New York City couple who are separated, mainly due to the fact that Mr. Morgan slept with somebody else while married. However, he wants very badly to get back together; she doesn't. She's concentrating on her very successful real estate company, and she's planning to adopt a child.One night, he comes to see her at a Breast Cancer fundraiser, and as they walk out together, they witness a murder and have to go into the Witness Protection Program in Ray, Wyoming, where they stay at the home of the Wheelers (Steenburgen and Elliott).This film is completely predictable in every way possible. I have to say I found Hugh Grant funny, Steenburgen and Elliott wonderful, and Sarah Jessica Parker was fine. Elizabeth Moss of "Mad Men" has a supporting role as Meryl Morgan's assistant; she looks incredibly glamorous.The scene where Meryl calls Paul outside to look at the stars brought back something that happens every time I'm out of a city - it's astounding how many there are in the sky that we don't get to see. And the end of the film, the scene at the airport -- well, that happened to my brother and my sister-in-law, so I have to say I loved that.Cute comedy, not a disaster by any means. Filmed in New Mexico, there was some lovely scenery.
