I can imagine the pitch of this film like something form the beginning of 'The Player':
"'Witness' meets 'City Slickers.' It's funny, but it's also touching. It's funny and touching, and there's some action. It's for the whole family, it's a romantic comedy with a twist."
The twist is that there is no twist: it's predictable, not funny and downright boring.
Come on: New York snobs in Wyoming? Really? People actually still find this kinda thing funny? A film to show that the simple folks have a heart of gold and, in the end, the city folks end up realizing that the simple folks are good folks. Oh, and there are stars in the sky there!
Thing are simpler, easier. And of course when they finally realize that, they have to leave. Oh, no!
Barf.
Fuck me with a chainswaw.
The best part is that they keep watching 'Dirty Harry.' I just wished we saw more of that, because that's a great film.
And am I the only one who's getting a bit bored with Hugh Grant? He always plays the same character. I'd like to see him as a serial killer once, or a rapist. Or a guy who picks up cheap hookers. Oh, wait...
Oh, and to add a level of "aww-ness" there's an adoption subplot. Awww... and there are scenes with her looking longily at pictures of kids. Awww. And a scene with her acting like a great mom with a kid. Awwww.
Okay, answer this fast - don't think:
They hate eaach other in the beginning. How do you think it ends? With both of 'em dead in the trunk of a car?
That would be awesome, but alas: no. It ends with them together, but not with a baby. TWO babies! Woah, I guess there is a twist after all.
In concluding... Wouldn't it be grammatically better to say "Have You Heard About the Morgans?" No, it's not some comment about the film, it's an honest to goodness grammatical question.
