Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Critics rated this film very badly. Often critics are actually correct, with the rare times that they are wrong about a film which I have liked or enjoyed. This however, was not the case. A film with Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant almost creams 'Get Away' before you have even taken the disk out of the case. Sometimes you should take notice of that and spare yourself the trouble but if I did that then there wouldn't be a blog!

What can I say? This is the woman who starred in Sex And The City, which I haven't seen and who made a huge name for herself in about 2008/9 so with all that hype I would have expected a little more from her than what was given. She was not the worst thing about the film- Hugh Grant was equally as awful. There was a time when playing the pompous character (otherwise known as himself) was exactly what he needed to do but this isn't the case anymore. We have all seen the multiple films in which he just plays himself and we do not need to see another film with him starring as himself, we would like to see a film in which he actually acts. This film is cheesy and predictable.

When they kiss, it's ugly and it takes such a long time that it seems ridiculous. I have no idea why they thought that this would be a good idea. Making a film like this was never going to be a good idea. Also, having sex in someone else's house whilst they live there is just a bit disrespectful and dishonourable. The stupid blonde is not something that amuses anyone anymore and it didn't amuse anyone in 2009. Trying to find something good about this film just simply comes down to Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen. They held everything together, they pulled all the strings and provided the comedy factor as well, without them this film would have been so rubbish that you would never have got past the opening clips of Hugh Grants talking on the phone.

If you haven't seen it, you don't need to.
