38Everything about this fish-out-of-water romp is tired.
-
38What 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.
-
38Here is a movie with everything going for it and nothing working.
-
38Did You Hear about the Morgans? Yes and, to be perfectly frank, I wish I had been spared the experience.
-
38Grant and Parker's talents are wasted on a boring, made-for-TV story punctuated by a contrived, throwaway third act.
-
38Given the creator and the cast, "Morgans" is as drearily predictable as a plague of locusts.
-
33The movie's a fish-out-of-water romantic-comedy thriller that forgets to be romantic, comedic or thrilling.
-
30The movie is like a car wreck in which no one is injured but the onlookers.
-
30Grant has never been less charming and Parker never less fashionable or more grating than they are as Paul and Meryl Morgan.
-
30Soporific comedy.
-
25Did you hear about the Morgans? Trust me, you don't want to.
-
25If you are expecting a pleasant evening of escapism, you will be cruelly fooled. The editor responsible for the trailer is clearly a genius.
-
25When the material gets really bad, as it does in the dismal Did You Hear About The Morgans?, Grant's pinched facial expressions become an inadvertent commentary on the movie he's making, as if he plainly realizes that his one-liners are tanking.
-
25Sometimes it's unpleasant, sometimes it's insincere, and for long stretches it's boring.
-
25Grant and Parker stand around as if they're waiting for someone to yell, "Cut.'' He's in one movie. She's in another. Neither is any good.
-
20A forgettable and lackluster fish-out-of-water rom-com.
-
10The loping pace, inconsistent tone and lack of imagination are all deadly.
-
0It's not just the sound of crickets you hear watching this movie. It's the sound of dead crickets.
-
0"Morgans" does bear the distinction of boasting the sourest cast ever assembled outside of a Lars Von Trier production.
