U/A; drama
Dir: Marc Lawrence

What's it about: Hugh Grant is one of those actors who's drained out his charm and is now on his way to endorse late night tele shopping.
Sarah Jessica Parker has driven the Sex in the City bandwagon for too long to bother about her other pocket money films.
The two play a hapless couple struggling to make amends when thrown into the country life under the witness protection program. Most of the time is devoted to screeching, scheming and acting bored out of their wits.
What's hot: Fortunately, the clock stays loyal to the wafer-thin script not going beyond its allotted shelf life. There is no attempt to make sense or put too much grey matter in the characters or their setting.

What's not: Parker and Grant have zero chemistry. It seems like they never broke the ice and decided to play their parts as if acting against a green screen. The dialogues are so banal that you wonder if it was written by a college jock in his dormitory.
Trying to find ways and means to take the plot forward, Grant gives several retakes of his pimped out dimples and sheepish grin.
On the other hand, Parker seems out of place without her Jimmy Choos and Louboutins. Inu00a0 a time where teenage dramas and even stand-up comedies have an edge, this one definitely reeks of substandard treatment.
What to do: After opening against the mighty Avatar, the Morgans went into oblivion just like their team who perhaps is asking around 'why did you watch the Morgans?'
