Did You Hear About the Morgan's?

I feel compelled to write something positive about this movie, which critics and movie goers alike found to be utterly without merit (see Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB--there is widespread agreement on this). The best review I could find started off by saying that the movie wasn't as bad as everyone said it was. I find that I am more in synch with the movie goer than the critic (I guess that should come as no surprise, since I am a movie goer, and I am not a critic), but on this I stand alone.
Firstly, this is a romantic comedy. The genre, much like the genre of animation, rarely lends itself to 'Best Picture' material. So it needs to be judged on that playing field. I would agree that the movie does not break new ground, although it starts with a couple that is separated. Movies about married couples who are working through an infidelity and that do so in a realistic way are not a dime a dozen.
So, here is what I like. While the movie doesn't take us through the emotional roller coasters that occur with infertility and it's treatment, that is a big part of the back story with this couple, and they have not talked about it. Which has done little to ameliorate bad feelings on both sides. Every married couple has a history, and the effect on the relationship of current events is affected by those past experinces. So it felt believable. The couple clearly like each other, despite obvious shortcomings on both sides, so the relationship (froma a therapist viewpoint) is salvagable.
The other point that I think is very true to life is that the woman is so angry about what happened that she is very unlikable. In the beginning of their time in the witness protection program, I wan't so worried about her as that he would go down with her. That unlikable. It takes some talking through it for her to lose some of the anger, enough that she can let other feelings into her personality and she becomes much softer. At the point in the movie where she takes her high powered New York City realtor skills and transforms the town doctor's mom's house from a frumpy dwelling to having curbside appeal, she is really likable.
So the leap from city slicker to country dweller and community citizen happened pretty quickly for Sarah Jessica Parker. So Hugh Grant was a little too funny and a little to inept outdoors. So Sam Elliott and mary Steenburgen were a bit over the top rural Wyoming. These are not deal breakers.
