![]() Tagline: We're not in Manhattan anymore.
In New York City, an estranged couple who witness a murder are relocated to small-town Wyoming as part of a witness-protection program.
Romantic-comedy regulars Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker finally unite in this fish-out-of-water laugher. The actors play Paul and Meryl Morgan, a Manhattan couple whose marriage is in danger. But it turns out all they may need is a change of scenery: when the Morgans witness a murder and are sent by the government to small-town Wyoming to hide from the killers, their marriage shows signs of recovery. Did You Hear About the Morgans? also stars Sam Elliott, Mary Steenburgen, and Elisabeth Moss.
Marc Lawrence is no stranger to writing and directing romantic comedies, most notably Music and Lyrics and Two Weeks Notice. But it was while shooting those films that he was developing ideas for Did You Hear About The Morgans?, a story that would push his boundaries within the genre by covering new ground: marriage.
