Did You Hear About the Morgans?

Plot: A couple on the verge of divorce witnesses a crime and is sent away under witness protective custody.

Starring: Hugh Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elisabeth Moss, Sam Elliott, Mary Steenburgen, and Mandy Jo Moore.

Review: A silly, little romantic comedy with a few breakthrough moments. I love Sarah Jessica Parker and thought she did a nice job with what little she was given. The little that she was given in the comedy department consisted of a Sarah Palin joke and a bear scene (both of which were in the trailer). In the dramatic department, there were a few great scenes of dialogue that gave you a peak into the inner workings of a marriage. That should've been the focus of this film. It should’ve been a drama. As for the romantic element, Hugh Grant gave her nothing. He was exactly the same as he always is in every film he's in: Daftly charming British gentleman who cannot keep a straight face. He should have channeled Edward Ferrars, a character he played in Sense and Sensibility. The sincerity of that character would've translated beautifully into this movie, making his character much more likable and given Parker & Grant a lot more chemistry. Cute film to watch with your significant other or if you’re a SJP fan.
