Amazon.co.uk Review
Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker play an estranged husband and wife, both die-hard New Yorkers; while trying to patch things up, they witness a murder and have to go into witness protection in backwater Wyoming. Encounters with bears, bingo, and rodeo clowns ensue. The fish-out-of-water formula is not particularly inspired, but Grant and Parker are well matched; they're both pros who establish an immediate rapport and comfort with each other, making them persuasive as a married couple who haven't fallen out of love. On top of that, the supporting cast is top-notch: Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) as Parker's snippy assistant, Sam Elliott (Thank You for Smoking) as the Wyoming marshal assigned to protect the neurotic couple, and Mary Steenburgen (Melvin and Howard) as the marshal's tough-as-nails wife are only the most recognizable of the solid ensemble playing the quirky characters surrounding the feuding romantic leads. Writer-director Marc Lawrence previously directed Grant to stronger effect in Music & Lyrics and, in particular, Two Weeks Notice, in which Grant and Sandra Bullock proved surprisingly sparky. --Bret Fetzer

Hugh Grant - predictable
Sarah Jessica-Parker - disappointing
HG is what he always is nowadays, but that's ok, at least he's always funny.
SJP is hopeless!!! I'm sorry, but there is no other word to describe her performance in this movie.
She is over-acting, which spoils pretty much everything, and the whole "I'm a New Yorker" thing is just a little too desperate in my opinion.
Now I've seen few movies with SJP and I know she can do better, so what on earth possessed her to portray Mrs. Morgan/Foster in such a poor way that really ruins the whole movie?

What a disappointment this movie is. The 2 leads just don't gel too well together, and even though Hugh grant is playing the same role he always plays, this time he is making less effort doing it. The script is poor, and Grant was never going to win an oscar for his performance in it (not that he's ever likely to win anything more than tv quicks favourite 50 year old rom com actor). A couple of scenes just about made me grin, but this isn't a clever film/comedy, it's just plain boring, unlike 'it's complicated' which is the opposite of this film (funny script and decent acting).

I was looking forward to a night in watching a good old romantic comedy, unfortunately the none existent 'chemistry' between 'the Morgans',the predictable plot line and lack of comedy, meant I had to settle for a good old nap.

nothing special and forgivable,
Did you hear about the Morgans?
A movie that could be enjoyable but instantly forgivable. If you wanna watch it, you better wait for it to be shown on TV.
