Où sont passés les Morgan?

Don't be fooled by most of the reviews here. I can't explain them, but it may have something to do with the fact that some of the jokes in the movie are not immediately perceptible to those who haven't worked/lived in a big city.

I just watched this last night and had a blast! It's not for the quality of the movie itself. In fact, some of the acting is quite bad. But one of the points in going to the movies is to have fun. Movies entertain you. And this one did an exceptional job in that matter!

As a comedy, it is one of the best I've seen in the last couple of years or so. It's a good laugh that is worth a watch.

This film is about a separated couple who has to move to a small town in the countryside, after witnessing a murder.

I thought "Did You Hear About the Morgans" was funny! Yes the plot follows the same formula as of all romantic comedies, but it is enjoyable and fun. There are some laugh out loud moments, such as the angiography joke or the fourteen political followers joke. I think does present the life of a small town in an entertaining and humorous way. I particularly like Mary Steenburgen's character, when she talked about reconciling with her husband because of lots of cows, she looked so genuinely reminiscent the amazing feeling. This backdrop of a small town provides the catalyst for a change in the Morgans' relationship status. Sometimes, a change is what is needed for things to go well!

I really did enjoy this movie, it was predictable, yes. But which chick flick isn't? However, I stayed to see how they showed how their "Wyoming" was. It was fairly accurate. The actors dud pretty well were pretty good, we really do have horses, hunt, fish and some of the houses look exactly like that. There were some differences of course. In the larger cities, we don't always leave the cars unlocked but in smaller towns for sure. Friends and family are always allowed to take our truck or car. I say give the movie people a chance, maybe eventually they will film a correct Wyoming. At least this one was actually in the USA. Most of them are filmed in Canada... which looks nothing like the real Wyoming.

My husband and I just got back from seeing "Did You Hear About The Morgans" and it was a cute movie but very predictable. Hugh Grant's acting is almost painful to watch. I had read somewhere that he actually doesn't like acting and it appears that way in this film. Sarah Jessica Parker acts the same way she does in Sex And The City. She isn't much for characterization. Sam Elliott and Mary Steenberger have smaller parts but they are the best thing about this movie. Both are superb actors and don't "overact" or "overdramatize" their parts. Overall it is a cute date movie and it's worth seeing but I can't give it more than four stars. It is just another cookie cutter type romantic comedy that Hollywood is cranking out these days. You can actually predict some of the dialogue.

I am very disappointed so many people have trashed this movie. There were so many funny jokes made by Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker; and Hugh Grant's accent and phrases are hysterical. For example, in the beginning the Federal Marshall tells Sarah Jessica Parker she has to make a choice between dying and leaving New York and there is a long pause as they all stare at her and she says, "Hold on I'm thinking." I think the combination of them together was very funny. Also, if you have ever lived in a big city or a very rural area - you can identify with this! I love their interactions with Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen. In another scene, Hugh Grant is served a plate of eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries covered in country gravy by Mary Steenburger and she asks him if he needs anything else, and he replies, "Just an angiogram." They are complete opposites. Plus I am sure there are many women out there who can sympathize with Sarah Jessica Parker's character. I recommend giving this movie a chance!!
