New Yorkers Paul (Hugh Grant) and Meryl (Sarah Jessica Parker) Morgan seem to have it all -- except that their marriage is crumbling around them. But their romantic woes are small compared to the trouble they find themselves in after witnessing a murder. To protect them from an assassin, federal agents whisk away Paul and Meryl to a small town in Wyoming, where their marriage will crash and burn, or their passion will reignite.

Critics Consensus

It gets a certain amount of mileage out of the inherent likability of its stars, but with an unfunny script and a lack of onscreen chemistry, Did You Hear About the Morgans? falls flat.

Time Out

This ultra-mild frolic follows the 'fish-out-of-water' comedy formula so closely its lack of surprise is almost, well, surprising.

In a silly way, it is entertaining, the mismatch is actually weirdly plausible, and try as I might, I couldn't be grumpy about it.

...a meandering and thoroughly conventional romcom that relies mostly on the charm of its stars to keep it afloat...

Rated: 2.5/4

Parker isn't called upon to do anything she hasn't done a million times before.

I wish I could answer 'no' to the movie's title question.

The script was weak and the characters lacked chemistry. Grant and Parker seemed desperate to compensate for the weak script and just seemed to over act. The plot had potential but just didn’t deliver. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this one.

I think it was well written, might move slow for the newer generation, but it was a nice western and very enjoyable

This is a really easy to watch film with charming, likeable characters. The contrast between the New York and Wyoming life styles is used to good effect, giving the Morgan's time to relax and settle their differences, whilst the audience get to experience a variety of pleasant locations. I enjoyed Hugh Grant's trade mark polite English humour, and SJP looked great, and performed admirably along side him. I thought that the pair handled their character's reconciliation well, allowing their affection to build as they gradually forgave each other and made up. I rate the movie highly, and have no reservations about recommending it.

I honestly don't think this film is that bad, definitely not as bad as some of the critics reviews suggest. It's a typical rom com, easy to watch and a few comic bits here and there. If you are in the mood for a chill out film then this would be more than adequate.
