“Did You Hear About The Morgans?” is not going to change your life or make cinema history. You wouldn’t expect it to.
What it is, however, is a good little romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The Morgans are having problems with their marriage. When they happen to witness a murder and end up being put into a witness relocation program the fun really begins. Both of the Morgans are high powered execs that live their lives with their Blackberries and are used to the New York city life. The US Marshalls place them in a tiny town in the middle of Wyoming where they’re completely cut off from the city life and all they are used to.
The results are amusing. Not hilarious most of the time, but quite amusing.
Hugh Grant plays Hugh Grant basically. While that can be quite amusing at times it can get a little tired.
The supporting cast include Sam Elliot (Ghost Rider, The Golden Compass), who seems to have been playing cowboys for an eternity. This time round he’s matched with Mary Steenburgen (Step Brothers) , who seems to like guns more than jewelry.
Here’s a clip:
