Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Comedy
2.5 stars
Cute film, but the previews gave away all the best parts. Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant play city clickers sent to a ranch in Wyoming for the Witness Protection Plan. We’ve all seen this sort of fish-out-of-water type of film where the protagonists begin to like the place they thought they’d hate. Hugh Grant’s British wit is the best part of the movie, plus Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen as the hardy gun-toting country folk who host the city couple. I also liked the way the bad guy got foiled. If only Parker didn’t talk so much, it would have been more enjoyable… I agree with other critics that there was a lack of chemistry between Parker and Grant. Cute move, but wait for it to come out on TV.
