Did You Hear About The Morgans? Movie Review

Director: Marc Lawrence

Writer(s): Marc Lawrence

Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Hugh Grant

Writer and Director Marc Lawrence Music and Lyrics, Two Weeks Notice) must have been drinking heavily when he wrote and then agreed to direct Did You Hear About The Morgans?.

The movie stars Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City, Failure to Launch) and High Grant (Bridget Jones's Diary, About a Boy) who on their own can be fairly entertaining performers, however put the two on screen together and it is that cold day in hell everyone always speak about.

I will admit though if anyone involved with this movie deserves some praise it is the person who edited together the movie trailer. The parts of the trailer that appear to be funny and entertaining are just sad and boring when you watch them in the actual content of the movie. This movie comes across as one bad joke that someone is attempting to tell you, only they forget the punchline and so they continue to keep on trying to explain it all and the more they do, the more horrible the joke becomes.

There is absolutely no chemistry on screen here from Parker and Grant and it almost seems like they were forced into doing this movie together. I would swear that neither of the two actually for a minute enjoyed working along side the other. For Grant I really hope this does not blemish his career to the extent of him never getting any decent roles again, while we all know that despite the lackluster turn out of this movie that SJP will survive with the release of Sex And The City 2 coming this May.

Avoid this movie and you will remain a happy person. If you are not a happy person and want to find a way to sustain a slow and agonizing death then see this movie.
As you can tell this movie is not one that I recommend, and nor do I wish the torture of seeing it even on my worst enemies.

My Rating: 10%
