Movie #296 ........................."Did You Hear About the Morgans?"

Movie #296 "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" proves once again that you can't always go by the critics. They are really tough on romantic comedies, and this one was cute. I laughed out loud several times --- it didn't go past the stupid line once, and it has two very competent people in the lead roles who were hired for what they've done in the past and they deliver. A bonus was the very good secondary people, esp. Elizabeth Moss (from "Mad Men" and "West Wing") and Hugh Grant's assistant -- very funny, and Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen, who never disappoints me. I liked the story ---- hadn't seen one on the topic, and it was funny and thrilling all at the same time. And just a nice romantic comedy. So if you like these two, you'll probably like the movie as well.
