Morning Glory

Becky (Rachel McAdams), is an aspiring workaholic and executive producer for morning television who’s just been given her chance to work at the network level, the rub, she’s been hired to turn around a sinking ship of a show; a show with dysfunctional and arrogant anchors (Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton) but a crew with hearts of gold. Now with just weeks before being cancelled Becky will have to work harder than ever before to raise the ratings and  save the show, but is it already too late, and how will she ever get her on-air talent to get along? Again, a skeptical reviewer to start with I wasn’t expecting much out of this one but instead was pleasantly surprised with the end result. For a comedic/romantic/dramatic-ish type the film may be a bit difficult to categorize, and, despite it’s rather predictable outcome, the heart of the film is still solid. Acting all round from the ensemble gels, and, from a production level the film comes together nicely. It’s light, it’s airy, it’s a matinee, Morning Glory is rated PG-13.
