  • Summary: The comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans? follows a highly successful Manhattan couple, Meryl and Paul Morgan, whose almost-perfect lives have only one notable failure – their dissolving marriage. But the turmoil of their romantic lives is nothing compared to what they are about to experienence: they witness a murder and become targets of a contract killer. The Feds, protecting their witnesses, whisk away the Morgans from their beloved New York to a tiny town in Wyoming, and a relationship that was on the rocks threatens to end completely in the Rockies... unless, in their new BlackBerry-free lives, the Morgans can slow down the pace and rekindle the passion.

    As for Grant, who hasn't been this sharp since "Love Actually" six years ago, he is once again the prime minister of cute comedy.

    Neither good nor bad. Scales dizzying new heights of okay. Aims for mediocrity... and nails it.

    What possible reason was there for anyone to make Did You Hear About the Morgans? Or should I say "remake," because this movie has been made and over and over again, and oh, so much better.

    Everything about this fish-out-of-water romp is tired.

    This film received horrible reviews when it came out; both critics and viewers ripped it apart. It's not the best movie I've ever seen. In fact, it's as average as average gets. However, I enjoy this movie a lot. I've seen it multiple times and I never wished I were watching something else. I was entertained.… Expand

    Nearly unwatchable. Everything about this is contrived, generic, and unfunny. I'm a fan of both actors, but neither is given anything to work with here. I rarely stop watching a movie before it ends, and this certainly tested my limits. An all-around disaster.… Expand

    Poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed piece of contrived, predictable and cliched **** How to these films get funding? I also never cease to wonder how so many Hollywood films have such poor plot and script development. It is the scourge of the film making industry. Take my advice, stop putting all your money into special effects and spend a little on plot and script development. Whilst this film doesn't have any special effects it's clearly a victim of the habit. This dog of a movie is not helped when the leads are out acted by the support cast (Sam Elliot, Mary Steenburgen, Elisabeth Moss) who made reasonable fists of their crappy lines. Don't even waste time renting it, wait until it comes on TV, and then don't bother.… Expand
