Meryl and Paul Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant) have all the money a couple could want -- it's love they're running short on. Upon witnessing a contract killing and being targeted by the triggerman, the couple find themselves at the mercy of the feds, who hastily send them packing for an extended stay in the Rockies. Could a peaceful life away from the city be just the thing to bring Meryl and Paul back together, or will the deafening silence of nature only serve to amplify the bickering couple's painful peccadillos and drive them further apart than ever before? Sam Elliott, Mary Steenburgen, and Wilford Brimley co-star in a comedy from writer/director Marc Lawrence (Miss Congeniality, Music and Lyrics). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
This ultra-mild frolic follows the 'fish-out-of-water' comedy formula so closely its lack of surprise is almost, well, surprising.
-
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
One of those cookie-cutter romantic comedies in which fish out of water ("Which one's skim?" Parker asks while milking cows) learn to swim together again.
-
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
The movie is like a car wreck in which no one is injured but the onlookers.
-
A.O. Scott, At the Movies
There's a scene where Hugh Grant confronts a grizzly bear and I've never rooted so hard for a predatory mammal.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
The cast is in such fine form that everything seems funny.
