| | Customer Reviews: Gets better as it goes along. (05 September 2010)Did You Hear About the Morgans? isn't your typical romantic comedy but somehow this little movie works. I have always enjoyed writer/director Marc Lawrence's films especially Music & Lyrics. Apparently the director is a fan of Hugh Grant because this is the actor's third movie with Lawrence (the first one being Two Weeks Notice). Grant shares the romantic spotlight with the delightful Sarah Jessica Parker. Their chemistry is not very strong but I still enjoyed this awkward and quirky film. The beginning of the film is kind of wacky but after that, the story becomes more organic and funny. Everyone seems to hate this comedy but I found it rather engaging - check it out sometime! Been there, seen that (25 August 2010)When New Yorkers Meryl and Paul Morgan see a murder, they're whisked away to rural Wyoming in the witness protection program. The problem is...besides hating country life, they're on the verge of divorce. The plot for this comedy was so predictable, I could picture the check list: Squabbling couple, murder, witness protection, rustic hide-out with good folks who become close friends, all leading to a happy ending. It was so corny it was almost insulting. Jessica Sarah Parker is annoying doing her usual stammering, high-strung persona, flipping her hair non-stop and looking like a little girl tottering around in mommy's high heels. The years are finally catching up with Hugh Grant and he's too old to play the constantly blinking, stuttering, empty-headed boy. He's also given the most unbelievably generic dialogue, straight out of every romcom he's done in the last fifteen years - every line was a zinger that fell flat. Even the location was disappointing with New Mexico filling in for Wyoming. On the plus side, Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen are wonderful as the strong, silent marshals who protect the Morgans. Recommended only if you're a devoted fan of the stars, otherwise know that it's a silly comedy that's been done before. Worst movie I've seen in a LONG time (04 August 2010)There are simply not words to describe how bad this movie is and how much you will wish you could get the last 2 hours of your life back. Spare yourself and pick out a different movie. What You Expect (04 August 2010)I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes us want to watch the same story again and again but with only minor changes (like the actors, the setting, the crisis,) but that is what we do with movies, especially romantic comedies. So, to be succinct: you've seen this movie before. Lots of times. The crisis that pushes these two soon-to-be separated people is over the top. The actors are exactly the same as they are in every movie. The inevitability of their coming together and renewing their love is never in doubt. Even so, it is something that was worth the rental price, but nothing more. My wife and I enjoyed this movie, but doubt we will ever watch it again. not as bad as i expected it to be (26 July 2010)while i wouldn't call this a side splittingly hilarious comedy,i did chuckles two or three times at a few of the lines.i expected it to be much worse than it was.but it's actually watchable.it's not near as bad as i thought it would be sure,there were a lot of jokes that came off flat or awkward.and the story could have been a bit more fleshed out.but Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker(who i usually can't stand)are both likable enough.but i really liked Mary Steenburgen as Emma Wheeler.she was perfect for that character.in my opinion,she stole the show in her scenes.Sam Elliot as Clay Wheeler,on the other hand,did nothing for me.overall the movie was entertaining.for me,Did You hear About the Morgans is a 3/5 |
