Did You Hear About the Morgans? Movie Review

Firstly, let me say that I am a Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant fan… perhaps just not in the same movie, and certainly not as a couple, married or otherwise. There was absolutely no chemistry between these two.

The story was a nice change from the norm, a New York couple, recently separated at the hands of infidelity, witness a murder and are forced into witness relocation in the sticks of Montana or Wyoming.The state is irrelevant, it’s the surroundings that make the point, the polar opposite of NY City. These two separated love birds have no choice but to shack up together and await their returned to their much loved New York to testify against the killer.

I would call this movie “cutesy”. There were a couple of chuckles, and the supporting characters were fantastic, but the chemistry that should have held this movie together just never made it to the big screen.

I give this movie 4 ‘cans of bear spray’ out of 10.

Sex and the City – Movie Review by RNW

As with my Indiana Jones review, I cannot claim to be a member of this iconic following. While I’ve atleast seen episodes of SATC in passing, I am not up to speed on all of the ongoings of the characters from the series.I took in this movie with some girlfriends whose husbands refused to take them (presumably Reel Ninja could be a party to those husbands and just prior to the previews beginning I turned to the girls and asked if anyone knew how the series ended, just in case there was some necessary tidbit that would tie the series to the movie. Nothing too unexpected, even in my sporadic viewing.

I must share with you that I once overheard Sarah Jessica Parker‘s face described as looking like a foot. That thought always makes me laugh. I was more interested in the delectable Chris Noth (Mr. Big), of the Law and Order series fame. Mr. Big did not disappoint… nor did any of the other core characters, all true to form.

There were quite a few chuckles and a sprinkle of boisterous laughter moments in the movie, but truly driven to the ladies in the crowd. I can’t imagine Reel Ninja busting a gut to the humour as I doubt he could relate.

If you’re a series fan, definitely spend the money and see it with some girlfriends… DO NOT drag your male partner, buddy, brother or otherwise… unless you’re planning on making it up to them immediately following the credits!

I give this movie 6.5 ‘Manolo’s’ out of 10.
