Hugh Grant in Did You Hear About the Morgans?

Hugh Grant starred in the romantic comedy 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' alongside Sarah Jessica Parker. The film was directed by Marc Lawrence and aimed to blend elements of romance and comedy within a narrative that follows a couple in witness protection. Despite the star power of Grant and Parker, the film did not resonate well with critics and audiences alike. It received negative reviews, with many pointing out its lack of originality and depth. The film's plot revolves around a New York couple whose marriage is on the rocks, and they are forced to relocate to a small town in Wyoming for their safety. This premise, while promising, failed to deliver a compelling story, leading to its classification as a critical failure. Box office performance reflected this sentiment, as it struggled to recoup its production costs, marking it as a disappointment in Grant's filmography. The film's reception highlighted the challenges of romantic comedies in a changing cinematic landscape, where audience expectations were evolving, and the genre faced increasing competition from other forms of entertainment.
