DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS - 6/10 (C+ or B-)

It was decent. I thought the laughs were a bit too few and far between, and even then I really only chuckled. I was expecting it to be more enjoyable.

Kind of wish I'd seen BROTHERS instead.

I remember laughing twice. That's all. I was too distracted by the subplot that wasn't there. How could anyone have fallen in love with Sarah Jessica Parker's character (which I don't think is too far off from how she really is). She's annoying, constantly talking, shrill, whiny; I just wanted to punch her. I found it amazing that Grant's character only cheated on her once. I would've felt bad for him if he weren't such a schmuck too. Not his character so much, but Grant himself. Has Hugh Grant ever acted before in a movie? Every thing I've seen him in he plays a variation of himself in some way.

So by that logic, Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are two truly evil people.

Oh, and once again, the film's not funny.

No Stars

Absolutely and thoroughly average. Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant phone in their performances. There are a few amusing moments, but nothing particularly good. Not bad either. Just kind of there.
