Morning Glory
Breakfast TV Just Got Interesting…
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-
Critic Reviews:
- " What it does it does well. " – Richard
Propes
- " The perky heroine played by Rachel McAdams… is so bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed she probably showers with caffeinated soap. " –
Jason Best
- " Director Roger Mitchell and the great cast bring so much energy and
humour to Morning Glory that it becomes an enjoyable, if completely unaffecting,
piece of escapist fluff – just like good breakfast television. " –
