I love this movie so much

... View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
... View MoreThis is a Parker movie and a female justice warrior too....Hugh Grant was played as a 3rd rate B beta semi-male. Hugh's character and movie is played to help change society idea of male roles on this planet.Grant's character is weak, afraid and useless. Can't shoot, can't cut wood, can't protect himself or the people around him, can't earn a living in this movie (a lawyer they mentioned in pasting). Bad guy shows up he whines and hides and the real 'man' (Parker) goes for the rifle and protects. A Bear show up, he whines, cries and is a complete lose...until Parker shows up and saves him. At the Rodeo he's the bulls ass and again, Parker is the head bull. This women movie shows how far women are ahead of men in all departments of human development...its shocking.
... View MoreApparently my girlfriend likes the type of Romantic Comedy movie that people from the big city wind up in rural areas and have to cope with their surroundings. I found three of these type movies among the 15 or so movies we purchased for $1 each earlier this year. Yesterday, I watched all three. This movie stood out with more comedy and laughs than the others. Hugh Grant delivers good comedy when needed and Sam Elliot and Mary Steenbergen deliver some comic lines as well. At times Sarah delivers an occasional punch line.I found myself laughing pretty good at this one. The ending is mildly predictable, in a slightly unpredictable way, but you can guess that the couple will eventually get together. The reason they mend their fences more the reason to watch the story. Plus the ending is tension filled to a degree. For a laugh I recommend it.

View More"Did You Hear About the Morgans?" is a pleasant comedy from 2009 starring Hugh Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sam Elliott, and Mary Steenburgen.I had only heard dreadful things about this film. I think to have paid to see it in the movies, it would have been disappointing. Seeing it on DVD, it wasn't bad at all.Parker and Grant are a New York City couple who are separated, mainly due to the fact that Mr. Morgan slept with somebody else while married. However, he wants very badly to get back together; she doesn't. She's concentrating on her very successful real estate company, and she's planning to adopt a child.One night, he comes to see her at a Breast Cancer fundraiser, and as they walk out together, they witness a murder and have to go into the Witness Protection Program in Ray, Wyoming, where they stay at the home of the Wheelers (Steenburgen and Elliott).This film is completely predictable in every way possible. I have to say I found Hugh Grant funny, Steenburgen and Elliott wonderful, and Sarah Jessica Parker was fine. Elizabeth Moss of "Mad Men" has a supporting role as Meryl Morgan's assistant; she looks incredibly glamorous.The scene where Meryl calls Paul outside to look at the stars brought back something that happens every time I'm out of a city - it's astounding how many there are in the sky that we don't get to see. And the end of the film, the scene at the airport -- well, that happened to my brother and my sister-in-law, so I have to say I loved that.Cute comedy, not a disaster by any means. Filmed in New Mexico, there was some lovely scenery.
... View MoreSome movies make you laugh and cheer and wave little plastic flags. Other movies make you tear off the little flags and use the flagpoles to poke your eyes out. Did you hear about the Morgans is definitely among the latter ones. The likeliness of HG and SJP being a couple would equal that of Dharma & Greg but then when Dharma would only speak Chinese and Greg would be deaf and blind. The story is about as exciting as that one episode of sex and the city when New York was covered in a snowstorm, oh wait that was because my TV broke down. My personal theory is that this movie was made to replace water boarding in Guantanamo.
