Did You Hear About the Morgans?

When the title is longer than the trailer you know you're in trouble. Gee, husband & wife hate each other & are getting divorced - but wait...they witness a murder & have to be in witness protection with each other? Wow, wonder how this will turn out?! Did I mention how irritating Hugh Grant is? Separate yourself from any thoughts of seeing this movie.
