Morning Glory stars Rachel McAdams as Becky Fueller, a producer on a morning TV show called Daybreak which is struggling with low ratings and mixed match hosts, but Becky has an idea to recruit veteran news reporter Mike Pomeroy played by Harrison Ford onto the show, but her boss played by Jeff Goldblum has doubts she can turn things around.
Morning Glory is at times a quite funny comedy, with pretty much the whole film carried on Rachel McAdams' shoulders who does so effortlessly with her unbridled energy, optimism and manic talking though she's also supported very much by Ford, Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson who pretty much gets the 'there there' role.
Ford however is quite good, as he pretty much does the whole film as if he's half asleep and because of McAdams and Keaton he succeeds but for all of the good this movie tries to create it also has some pretty big faults mainly due to the shift from comedy to sincerity, quite frankly it doesn't work and it almost kills the movie there and then.
But you know, I did laugh but it just didn't quite hit the mark in the end, 2 and a half out of 5.
