Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Did You Hear About the Morgans? was about as predictable as they come. After seeing the trailer showing a married couple witnessing a murder that requires them to enter the witness protection program, I pretty much felt like I had seen the movie. Well, I did spring for this at the local dollar theater, because I knew it would be funny, regardless. It was.

Hugh Grant is funny in his normal understated way. His wife and him are separated and he wants her back. His wife seems to still love him, but is not sure she can live with him. Entering the witness protection program and being sent to the middle-of-nowhere, Wyoming gives them time to try and patch things up.

Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen play the husband and wife team who protect the Morgans from the bad guys, the bears, and each other. All in all, it was one of those movies that was not hysterical, but really had us smiling and laughing much of the time. I don't think I will spoil things to tell you that there is a happy ending.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? is more a fish-out-of-water tale, than a murder mystery so don't get too worked up about the witness protection sub-plot. It was an interesting way to get the separated Morgans to spend a little time together . . .

Note to self: If I witness a murder, immediately dye my hair, lose 50 pounds, and start wearing tons of make-up. The killer will never recognize me.
