Synopsis
New Yorkers Paul and Meryl Morgan seem to have it all -- except that their marriage is crumbling around them. But their romantic woes are small compared to the trouble they find themselves in after witnessing a murder. To protect them from an assassin, federal agents whisk away Paul and Meryl to a small town in Wyoming, where their marriage will crash and burn, or their passion will reignite.

New York Post
As for Grant, who hasn't been this sharp since "Love Actually" six years ago, he is once again the prime minister of cute comedy. - 70
Dallas Observer
It's a thoroughly delightful throwaway--the kind of movie for which cable television was made, from the maker of "Music & Lyrics" (Marc Lawrence), who knows his way 'round a snappy tune. - 60
Variety
But the charm of the film is that it resists turning people into cliches and lets Parker and Grant work their particular magic -- before they get to Wyoming, their performances are as stressed out as their characters, and while it's a dubious conceit that going cowboy is a cure-all, they put the notion across as convincingly as possible. - 60
Empire
Neither good nor bad. Scales dizzying new heights of okay. Aims for mediocrity... and nails it. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Not even the estimable comic chops of Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker can lift it above the level of ordinary. - 50
Miami Herald
Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are supposed to pass for a married couple, but they have all the chemistry of two actors who just met and shook hands moments before the cameras rolled. They don't even seem to like each other much. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
What possible reason was there for anyone to make Did You Hear About the Morgans? Or should I say "remake," because this movie has been made and over and over again, and oh, so much better. - 30
Chicago Reader
Soporific comedy.
