Movie Preview: Did You Hear About the Morgans?
I wonder if this movie, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, was one of those things that sounded good as a concept, but somehow deflated in execution? Opening around the holidays, the movie tells the story of the Morgans, an unhappily married couple who witness a murder and are spotted by the killer. Thus, they need to leave their slick Manhattan lifestyles behind and go into the witness relocation program in Wyoming where — you guessed it — they slow down and focus on each other enough that their marriage might actually get a second chance.

Music and Lyrics: In Praise of Pop
In Music and Lyrics, Hugh Grant plays Alex Fletcher, an aging pop star from an '80s band called Pop who, in his heyday, looked like a cross between Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and Wham!’s George Michael. He has been reduced to performing at theme parks and on the VH1-esque “Battle of the 80’s Has-Beens” until one day he receives word that Cora Corman, the pop princess du jour, wants him to help her compose a song for her new album.
Although Alex hires a professional lyricist, it's only when Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) comes to water his plants and shows a surprising knack for songwriting that the tune — and their love — come together.
Movie Preview: Music and Lyrics
In the new romantic comedy Music and Lyrics, Hugh Grant plays a washed up singer in need of new lyrics. Drew Barrymore plays the person who helps him write those lyrics, and they grow fond of each other. Predictions: Drew Barrymore is a cutesy goofball, and Hugh Grant is a sexless, aging bloke with some dry one-liners and near-vertical eyebrows.
