    When I did my Columbia Pictures fall preview a few weeks ago, I had no posters or trailers to provide you sweet readers with for DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS? Now, suddenly, everything has changed. I have a trailer for you! And, guess what! I don’t hate it!

    DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS? stars Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker as an upper class NYC couple, currently estranged, who happen to witness a murder. Of course, as so often happens when you witness a murder, they get put in the witness relocation program and shipped off to Wyoming for safety. Hi jinks and culture clashes ensue!

    Check out the trailer and just why I plan on seeing this come Christmastime after the jump!

    One of my all-time favorite guilty pleasure movies is the Steve Martin and Rick Moranis flick MY BLUE HEAVEN. It’s about the hi jinks and culture clashes that ensue when someone (Martin) gets put into the witness projection program! I find witness protection hilarious. It’s a great filmic gimmick to get a fish-out-of-water story going, even though it’s actually really hard to be put into witness protection in real life (don’t ask me why I know this).

    Also, hey, Hugh Grant, where have you been? You last graced our screens in 2007 with the forgettable MUSIC AND LYRICS. The year before that, you turned in AMERICAN DREAMZ, which no one saw. I need you, Grant, I need a charming cad in a rom-com (shut up, Gerard Butler).

    DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS? is precisely the sort of movie I anticipate seeing on a gray December day with my mom and pops over Christmas vacation. Afterward, we will sip cocoa by a roaring fire (false) and laugh about how we almost moved to Montana once and could have been attacked by our own bears and shotgun-wielding neighbors (true). Am I alone in this visualization?

    • Love for this: "I need you, Grant, I need a charming cad in a rom-com (shut up, Gerard Butler)." <3
    • I actually watched part of TWO WEEKS NOTICE last night, and though it's not Hugh's best, he's still an adorable cad. :)
