MORNING GLORY



Plot:

When Becky (McAdams) a franticly talkative morning news show producer with aspirations of one day producing for the Today Show gets fired due to cut backs, she desperately seeks out other producing opportunities. Her only reply comes from a station managed by Jerry Barnes (Goldblum) whose morning show ratings are the worst in the area. Now assigned to increase the ratings in a limited time, she desperately tries to make it work between her two aging anchors Colleen (Keaton) and the legendary but disgruntle Jack Pomeroy (Ford) who just can’t seem to come together on the show. While in the midst of all this she tries her hand at something that she is not accustom to (which is dating), when a young producer named Adam (Wilson) takes an interest in her.

Reel Talk:

With a talented line up of actors ranging from Keaton and Ford to McAdams and Wilson, this was an enjoyable movie. A typical feel good film, that provides some much needed humor despite some cheesy dialog. Ok this is not a movie worthy of any Oscars or even any nominations for that matter, but it is a delightfully predictable movie worth seeing.

Starring: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum
Directed by: Roger Michell
