As an unashamed rom-com fan, I ignored the reviews and went to see Did You Hear About the Morgans? (horrible title!) on Friday – and Read the full post.

I 'heard about the Morgans' and I have some new ideas for Hugh Grant...

Hugh likes the type of movies he makes and says that comedies are harder than dark comedies or dramas. He was so great in “About a Boy,” and you could feel his pain in that movie. He refers to it as one of the movies he’s most proud of. If he likes rom-coms, so be it. Let the man be. But Wendy, I do like your story.
hugh grant probably picks the best of the scripts he’s sent. he probably gets sent the exact same kind of scripts all the time- romantic comedies, because someone (with the power to decide) felt thats the kind of actor he is. i would say he probably agrees and is ok with it because he rarely branched out to more dramatic roles. i think he is happy to put out one film a year because he has a lot of vacation time every year and still has a big fat salary. dudes got life by the tits and he’s milking it. maybe someday he’ll want to be “Hugh Grant…Artist” but for now he seems happy. i want him to strive for more because i like him and i will never see this movie or bridgett jones or the thing with bullock. he was great in about a boy. i’m looking forward to his change of mind.
but i liked the nice article.
Judging by every review and comment I’ve read, this is another one of those “gee I’m glad I didn’t pay to see that” movies that will quickly air on post-pay-per-view stations. A movie that I may have watched for all of 15 minutes or so – but for free – perhaps the entire movie – IF – that annoying Sarah Jessica Parker wasn’t in it. Why the fascination with her? One of those annoying “oh my god she’s everywhere” actresses. However, I guess I’m in the minority judging by the rabid SATC fans out there. She’s just not believable in anything. As for Mr. Grant; he seems to be “one step forward, two steps back” – one stand-out movie, followed by a couple of duds.
Everytime I see SJP, all I can think of is an episode of Family Guy wherein Peter said “Sarah Jessica Parker? She looks like a foot!”
I always have been a fan of Hugh Grant, and probably I´ll ferever be and I think he would be great in an indie movie, less rome com more sarcastic.
Also, love the idea of a movie with Emily Blunt.
He was great in Love Actually, one of the best holyday movies ever!
