Rachel McAdams is one of those actors that you can’t help but like and you know that she is just waiting for that one movie to elevate her to the next level and unfortunately, despite its enjoyable element, it’s not Morning Glory.
It all starts off when Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from her morning news program in New Jersey. Not to be beaten, the determined and an ambitious young TV producer sets off to New York where she is given the chance to shine when she is handed the job of lifting the fortunes and ratings of ailing breakfast show DayBreak. Her problems don’t stop though at lifting the ratings as crusty Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) and Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), the hosts of the morning show, make Becky’s job even more difficult through their constant squabbling and demands. The hosts bickering interaction with one another plays out brilliantly on screen and is one of the highlights of the movie.
Morning Glory is a good movie that’s worth seeing but it won’t win, or be nominated for any Oscars, and as I said earlier, it won’t raise the stock of McAdams. It’s just one of those light, fun movies where you find yourself rooting for the main character to turn it all around as her world collapses around her.
