Background: I first got Did You Hear About the Morgans? through Netflix, back when I had both the disks and streaming. Shortly thereafter, it showed up on instant streaming, and I watched it again. I enjoyed it both times, though it’s not a movie I would have said I “had” to own. But then I saw it on sale at Target for $4.75, and I couldn’t resist!
Plot: New Yorkers Paul & Meryl Morgan—he a prominent lawyer, she a high-powered real estate agent—are separated, thanks to Paul’s infidelity. When they witness a murder, they are sent into witness protection in Wyoming. As they adjust to living in a rural setting, Paul also tries to win Meryl back. But the murderer is fast on their trail …
Reactions: There’s just something about Hugh Grant’s bumbling Englishman that I really like! (In fact, the same weekend that I watched this film, I also watched Two Weeks’ Notice, and I would have watched Notting Hill if I’d had enough time!)
Really, there’s nothing special about Did You Hear About the Morgans?—it’s just another romantic comedy. But as I happen to greatly enjoy your run-of-the-mill rom-coms, and as this one is just about as clean as they come anymore, I think it’s a keeper!
Verdict: Keep
