Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Beautiful, moving film.

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.

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.

Some movies make you laugh and cheer and wave little plastic flags. Other movies make you tear off the little flags and use the flagpoles to poke your eyes out. Did you hear about the Morgans is definitely among the latter ones. The likeliness of HG and SJP being a couple would equal that of Dharma & Greg but then when Dharma would only speak Chinese and Greg would be deaf and blind. The story is about as exciting as that one episode of sex and the city when New York was covered in a snowstorm, oh wait that was because my TV broke down. My personal theory is that this movie was made to replace water boarding in Guantanamo.

New York City lawyer Hugh Grant (as Paul Morgan) would like to mend fences with boutique realtor wife Sara Jessica Parker (as Meryl), but she wants a divorce. Not taking "no" for an answer, the once unfaithful Mr. Grant persuades Ms. Parker to go on a date. On the way home, they witness a murder. When the un-caught killer tries to silence Parker permanently, the un-happily married pair is put in the secret US "witness protection" program. They are given new identities and move from Manhattan to Bay, Wyoming. The small town is filled with Republicans who love guns, red meat, and the rodeo...Certainly, writer/director Marc Lawrence knew "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" was a routine, predictable romantic comedy. It doesn't take any chances and is generally well-cast, with "Sheriff" Sam Elliott and still sexy wife Mary Steenburgen (as Clay and Emma Wheeler) offering conservative big-name support. But the leading co-stars are what needed to sell this type of film, and, well... Grant seems uninterested and uncomfortable. Parker's girlish, immature pantomime simply does not suit the character. Worse yet, we have no real interest in seeing them together.**** Did You Hear About the Morgans? (12/18/09) Marc Lawrence ~ Hugh Grant, Sara Jessica Parker, Sam Elliott, Mary Steenburgen
