Did You Hear about the Morgans? (1:47) 2009

Did you hear about all the awful reviews this movie received? I did and started the movie thinking I may not finish it. And lo and behold, it turned out to be a cute movie, very predictable, but cute. The Morgans are a successful professional couple living in New York and separated. Meryl and Paul witness a murder and are immediately put in protective custody and sent to a very rural, very small town Ray, Wyoming to live with the sheriff and his wife. During the week, with little distractions, the Morgans begin to discover what they thought they had lost. Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant have some funny lines, I laughed out loud several times. Sam Elliot is wonderful as the sheriff, the quiet no nonsense Western man. Mary Steenburgen rounds out the foursome as the sheriff's wife, a kind woman, handy with rifles, who wants to help the Morgans. This is a movie that is typical of a romantic comedy that is made for television. While it is not a great work of art, there was something about it that I found very charming. It is also a movie that a family could see together some night when everyone is low energy or housebound due to weather.
