''Did You Hear About the Morgans?'' is a 2009 RomanticComedy written and directed by Marc Lawrence, starring Creator/HughGrant and Creator/SarahJessicaParker.

* BrainlessBeauty: Kelly, the local clinic's nurse and receptionist (as well as the diner waitress and assistant fire chief), is a pretty young woman who can't count to six and spends a painfully long time describing an IncrediblyLamePun.

* BaldOfAwesome: Marshal Henderson is a bald man who, after being wounded by a hitman, yells for Meryl to leave him in the hallway and close the door to keep the killer from getting inside.

* BabiesEverAfter: Meryl and Paul have attempted this before, and they've been unsuccessful, kicking off the rift in their marriage.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Deconstructed in the opening. Since he can't adopt a star as an apology gift, Paul's assistant offers that Paul could adopt a black hole for Meryl. Given how failure to start a family started the conflict, Paul is more than aware that a black hole might send the wrong message.

%% * {{Adorkable}}: Hugh Grant as usual.

Paul (Grant) and Meryl (Parker) are a yuppie couple from UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity going through a separation when they witness a brutal murder. When the murderer actually comes after them, the government secretly whisks them off to a ranch owned by a marshal (Creator/SamElliot) and his wife (Creator/MarySteenburgen) near the tiny town of Ray, Wyoming. While they are there, Paul and Meryl begin rebonding with each other, while the killer uses every method in the book to hunt them down.
