Becky (Rachel McAdams) is a hard-working morning TV show producer, or at least she was until she got fired. Desperate to get a job, she finally gets an interview with Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) - who is desperate to hire a producer for the struggling show "Daybreak". Becky accepts the job and it proves to be more difficult than even she might be able to handle. She has to fire the sexist co-host, then try to convince egotistical news reporter, Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), to take the job, and then try and get him to actually do the job, properly. And she has to do this while falling for handsome Adam (Patrick Wilson), and trying to save the show from plummeting ratings. Will Becky be able to hold on to her dream job and her sanity?
Leave your thoughts about Morning Glory.
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydThe strong far outweighs the weak in this spirited flick that, like its warring journalists, realizes that sweet and sour mix together quite nicely. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's formula entertainment, admittedly, but there's real pleasure in seeing the equation worked out so cleverly. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank Swietek'Morning Adequacy' is more like it...basically an elongated sitcom that benefits from Ford's turn as an acerbic old-timer contemptuous of the turn his profession has taken. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasAlthough the occasional montage lays things on a bit thick, "Morning Glory" moves at an engaging pace, developing a snappy rhythm that's all too rare in modern comedies. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIt starts with McAdams. She is beyond priceless as Becky. Without question, this is one of the finest, multifaceted and highly nuanced performances of the year. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerMcAdams goes beyond the cute-young-thing and makes Becky a workaholic who's a bit challenged in the love department. It's not much, but it's enough to keep our interest. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleySparkling performances by McAdams, Ford, Keaton, and Goldblum, brilliantly directed by Michell from a terrific script by McKenna make for a thoroughly entertaining romcom. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsA cut above the usual rom-com tripe while remaining several notches below the caliber of talent involved. |
| CinesnarkSarah MarrsMorning Glory can't find its footing between romantic comedy... and biting workplace comedy. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovIt's entirely appropriate that Morning Glory ultimately turns into a celebration of quaffable, formulaic fluff. |
