A bickering New York couple on the verge of divorce is placed in the Witness Protection Program and relocated to Wyoming after witnessing a murder. Meryl and Paul Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh... read more read more... Grant) have all the money a couple could want -- it's love they're running short on. Upon witnessing a contract killing and being targeted by the triggerman, the couple find themselves at the mercy of the feds, who hastily send them packing for an extended stay in the Rockies. Could a peaceful life away from the city be just the thing to bring Meryl and Paul back together, or will the deafening silence of nature only serve to amplify the bickering couple's painful peccadillos and drive them further apart than ever before? Sam Elliott, Mary Steenburgen, and Wilford Brimley co-star in a comedy from writer/director Marc Lawrence (Miss Congeniality, Music and Lyrics). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This film recieved horrible reviews when it came out; both critics and viewers ripped it apart. It's not the best movie I've ever seen. In fact, it's as average as average gets. However, I enjoy this movie alot. I've seen it multiple times and I never wished I were watching somet... read morehing else. I was entertained.

    Hugh Grant always picks the same type of roles as the bumbling Englishman. His estranged wife (SJP) and him witness a murder and have to go into witness protection together. Leaving their busy lives in New York for Wyoming. Predictable but enjoyable rom com. Good cast.

    Brilliantly hillarious. I can't think of any other film in recent years that actually made me laugh so hard. SJP and Hugh Grant made a great on-and-off couple and I actually admire the script writer, whoever he or she is, since it is absolutely GENIUS! The film is a combination o... read moref American and British culture because I think the jokes are really British. It's that "oh it's not funny but I have to laugh" type of jokes. Really, this one made my day, I'm not even exaggerating.

    So cute. I love Hugh Grant. He's charming in a quirky kind of way. It's a nice little break-up-get-back-together movie.

    Just another fish-out-of-water story with two people who can't stand each other forced to be together. Fighters to lovers. It's cute and fun.. happy ending. I dug it, but then again, I like all romantic comedies.

    Carrie Bradshaw - whoops, I mean Sarah Jessica Parker - whoops, I mean "Meryl Morgan" - and her philandering husband witness a crime and end up in the witness protection program in Wyoming. It's not like the premise is flawed; if the director/writer had thought to make the countr... read morey folk actual caricatures/cartoons, this could have even been funny. Alas, it wasn't. Pure pap - bland and predictable fluff. Man law: never watch DVDs your girlfriend rents on nights when you're not home, no matter how long they sit on the coffee table. The stars are for Mary Steenburgen - the only funny part of the flick. A vapid 100 minutes I will never get back.

    Originally I listed this as Not Intersted. I was STILL not interested when I watched this film, and yet here we are. I found the comedy stilted, the chemistry lacking, and the plot a mishmash of Parker's high pitched blabber and Grant's incoherent ramblings. Elliott and Steenburg... read moreen was the only redeeming value anywhere.

    Again another great movie that nobody likes. I really enjoyed this one just think of how much people would hate me if I was a movie critic.

The movie is like a car wreck in which no one is injured but the onlookers. Full Review

There's a scene where Hugh Grant confronts a grizzly bear and I've never rooted so hard for a predatory mammal. Full Review

The cast is in such fine form that everything seems funny. Full Review

Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com

While it fails on nearly every conceivable level, as a textbook case in everything contemptible in the studio system, Did You Hear About the Morgans? is as good as it gets. Full Review

It's a pity there's no witness protection program for movies that commit crimes against audiences. Full Review

I grant you Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker evoke charm in the right screenplay. This is the wrong screenplay. Full Review

Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are assigned to a witness protection program, flown to Wyoming, and installed in a one-horse town where there are no bistros, art galleries, department stores, or f... Full Review

Most bad comedies plod from scene to scene. This one plods from sentence to sentence. Grant and Parker stand around as if they're waiting for someone to yell, "Cut." Full Review

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

Grant has never been less charming and Parker never less fashionable or more grating than they are as Paul and Meryl Morgan. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

If you are expecting a pleasant evening of escapism, you will be cruelly fooled. The editor responsible for the trailer is clearly a genius. Full Review
