Morning Glory Review
Morning Glory Overview
For Becky (Rachel McAdams,
The Notebook), running a TV show in New York City was the big break she dreamed of…until star co-anchors Mike (Harrison Ford,
Indiana Jones) and Colleen (Diane Keaton,
Something’s Gotta Give) declare an all-out, on-air war. Making the show work with its cast of eccentric characters and outrageous story angles will take a major miracle, but Becky is ready to rise and outshine. From the writer of
The Devil Wears Prada and
27 Dresses,
Morning Glory is a “Tart, terrific comedy*” that critics rave is, “Smart! Fresh! Brilliant! Heartwarming! Morning Glory has it all!*” *Peter Travers , Rolling Stone **Neil Rosen, NY1
Morning Glory Specifications
Morning Glory showcases the comedic (and romantic) talents of two cute couples of different ages--Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton (never sparklier) and the adorable Rachel McAdams and Patrick Wilson. Love can bloom, no matter what time of life, or, as the setting of
Morning Glory underscores, no matter what time of day. McAdams is excellent and darling as an ambitious TV producer who vows to turn around a sinking morning TV news show by bringing in a heavyweight anchor (Ford) to pair with the lighthearted, deft Keaton. But Ford wants none of the "news lite" that morning shows need to surface, so sparks fly between the bickering co-anchors almost immediately. Happily, Ford is easier in his skin in
Morning Glory than he has been in some of his past romantic efforts (
Six Days Seven Nights), so he and Keaton play off each other easily and believably. In a parallel story, McAdams's Becky is pursued by Wilson's Adam, which takes Ms. Focused Career Girl (if not the viewer) by surprise. The direction by Roger Michell (
Notting Hill) is crisp, although the script by Aline Brosh McKenna (
The Devil Wears Prada) isn't particularly funny. (Adam thinks Ford's character, Pomeroy, is the "third worst person in the world," after Kim Jong Il and… Angela Lansbury.) But the world of TV news portrayed in
Morning Glory is as immersive as it is in
Broadcast News, and the romantic subplots truly
are romantic. There's love in the air--and on the air--in
Morning Glory. --
