Did you hear about the Morgans? review

The horrendous reviews won't let up for Morgans?, saying it's unoriginal, unfunny, and their is zilch chemistry between lead stars Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. And they're right. The film isn't original (a fish out of water tale about a partially seperated couple who witness a murder and must travel to Wyoming to make sure that the killer doesn't find them, and discover that life without their cell phones is alright, a lot of it isn't funny (despite Grant and Parker's best efforts) and they do have little chemistry (to begin with...)

The thing about Morgans? is that it may be trash, but it's entertaining trash. I's completely nonsensical and utter rubbish for the most part, but as usual, it's always fun to see some physical comedy (where's that gone recently), and there's some good slapstick humour on offer here. Grant and Parker aren't at their best, but seem to grow in confidence and believability as couple loving to love each other again as the film progresses, which is something a similar screwball comedy, The Proposal, could not achieve.

Morgans? isn't as good as Proposal, but it's fun to watch. It's a mindless, harmless, fun film that's good to see in a month so far filled with films that make you think (Nine, Up in the Air, The Road etc.) The ending is horrific, the dialouge repetitive and it isn't funny, and those are obvious flaws for a romantic comedy. But still, this is light, bright and frothy fun.
