Paul Morgan (Hugh Grant) and his estranged vegetarian wife Meryl (Sarah Jessica Parker) may never reconcile. He chases, and she snubs. Then, one night, circumstances change, and they find themselves transported to a remote end-of-the-earth and forced to survive together in this alien environment. They find themselves in a witness-protection program and watched over by a Wyoming couple, Clay Wheeler (Sam Elliott) and his gun-wielding, meat-eating wife Emma (Mary Steenburgen). Will they make the standard faux pas to be discovered and dispatched before they can reconcile, or will their newly acquired rustic skills help them to survive?
The overall formula is standard, and the movie genre is well-sneaked. Yet it is the actors, their interaction, and the small story twists that make this an exception of its type. Hugh uses his three expressions just at the right time. Moreover, tossed in the mix, as a catalyst, is Kim Shaw as the local nurse, server, and deputy fire chief.
The film, of course, is supposed to be of Wyoming, but as with most presentations today, the real locations are:
Galisteo, New Mexico, USA
(Rodeo scene)
Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
New York City, New York, USA
Pecos, New Mexico, USA
(Ranch)
Roy, New Mexico, USA
Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
I only watch the Blu-ray version, so I cannot compare versions. However, you do not want to miss the voiceover commentary. Much of the commentary is Sarah Jessica Parker describing her clothes.
