TSI Five-O: if you’ve heard about the morgans, you are better off watching them on tv!
“Did You Hear About The Morgans?” is a mediocre attempt at a romantic-comedy lacking in both the romance and the comedy. It seems as if Marc Lawrence has a pact with Hugh Grant, directing and writing his third with Grant in the lead yet again. But he seems to have run out of ideas. After “Music and Lyrics”, this short flick fails to impress its audience on account of quality of creativity and freshness.
This formula has been reused a zillion times in most films of this genre. The story begins with busy bee real-estate broker Meryl Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her successful advocate hubby Paul Morgan (Hugh Grant) shown separated due Paul’s infidelity. Paul makes efforts to woo her but Meryl isn’t ready to reconcile things. And then, the Morgans happen to witness a murder and are sent to Wyoming in order safeguard their lives as witnesses. As could be easily guessed, the Morgans rediscover love for each other in their mobile free life at the local sheriff Clay Wheeler’s (Sam Elliott) and Emma Wheeler’s (Mary Steenburgen) place. The redundant story has a few funny sequences, negligible surprises and a sweet but thoroughly mundane feel to it.
Grant and Parker deliver well individually, but together they are a mess. The rugged looking Sheriff is impressive with his rifle frenzied wife Emma but that’s about all the film has got.
