Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009 Marc Lawrence & scr)

Unfortunately, my previous thoughts still apply. A much inferior film to Music and Lyrics. There's the chemistry problem again - there's none between Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, who's never been my favourite actress to begin with. They are pursued into witness protection in Ray, Wyoming by killer Changeling's Michael Kelly, sheltered by nice gun-totin' cop Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen. Grant's quips ("Luckily I booked ahead to get a table by the mayonnaise") seem out of place, and the small town feeling so successfully mined in a film like Doc Hollywood isn't there.

Not without style - it's photographed by Florian Ballhaus and edited by Susan Morse.

With Elizabeth Moss, Jesse Liebman, Wilford Brimley.

Even the title is rubbish. They don't seem like Morgans at all.
