Fantastic!
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
saw this movie in 2016 though it was awful ... there no chemistry between Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh grant , and not particularly very good acting either .. know Sarah Jessica Parker from sex in the city though t she okay in that .. bu Hugh grant seems a bit all over the place in film and would say the story line isn't particularly very good either.
In 'Two Weeks Notice' and especially 'Music and Lyrics' Marc Lawrence and Hugh Grant collaborated to create two above average romantic comedies. However, third time is not the charm.The issue for me with this film is that the idea of city slickers being forced to live in the country has been done many times before...and better. While there are new ideas within this film you can't help but think with the talent involved a more original idea wouldn't have been better.Full credit though to Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker for making the most of the script they were given. OK so they are playing characters that they've played many times elsewhere but it's what we know them for so are prepared to go along with it. While the film is predictable it is also mildly entertaining and well performed - you can't ask for much more than that.Grant remains the king of rom-coms and Lawrence an adapt writer/director. I look forward to their fourth collaboration.
Like most of the other reviewers who enjoyed this film, I'm baffled as to why it has such a low score on here. My boyfriend and I watched it last night, and we both laughed out loud a few times! The humour was witty,and not the obvious slapstick kind. OK, it might not have you rolling on the floor but it definitely had enough funny moments to make it enjoyable.Unlike most 'comedies' these days the film wasn't crude, and had no bimbos in bikinis, so maybe some of the reviewers here just aren't used to decent, family friendly wit. The characters were likable, and I really felt that a lot of the dialogue and issues in the plot regarding love and relationships were very real. I could totally identify with a lot of it, and it was very touching at parts. Obviously you pretty much know where the story is going to go, but I actually felt like they swerved a lot of the obvious clichés they could have used.In summary, I'm baffled as to how this has such a low score on here, especially compared to other films, and my partner and I both found it funny, engaging, touching, and would definitely watch it a few more times. Wouldn't have expected anything more from a fairly light-hearted romcom!
"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.
