Did you Hear About the Morgans? - 2009 ***


I was surprised by this film. Mainly because both the leads are annoying beyond belief normally and their acting leaves far too much to be desired. This wasn't a clever or intelligent film, but it was light, quite amusing and had a nice ending. The Morgans are separated, with both  trying to move on with their lives because of Hugh Grant's infidelity. The one time they decide to meet up for dinner to talk, they witness a murder, and are bundled into the Witness Protection Programme, meaning that they can have no contact with any family, friends or work colleagues. They are taken to a little town hundreds of miles away to stay with the sheriff and his wife in an attempt to ingratiate them into society there. It starts off quite a difficult task for 2 New York obsessives who are normally on the go constantly, but they do end up liking their new surroundings. The only thing is, can they get past their difficult feelings for each other?
I'll give Hugh Grant his dues, as he's pretty funny here,and maybe I will one day be able to say how excellent S-J P is as well...
