Morning Glory

Though Morning Glory wasn't ground breaking by any means, it took a formulaic plot and added some terrific acting. Working on the premise that not all movies need to be life changing, I rather enjoyed this one. A woman on the brink of losing her dream of being a television show producer finds a chance for redemption in the unique position of working at a dying morning program. Much like the Rachel McAdams character Becky in the movie, you need the right people on screen, even if they are out of place, to stir things up. She did just that by adding the stiff dry Harrison Ford as Mike Pomeroy to a morning show to give it news credibility and letting the always spry and fun Diane Keaton, Colleen Peck, off the leash. Its fun and makes a great date movie. There aren't any awards to be won here, other than the claiming of a delightful evening with a movie that doesn't try to take on too much. You'll walk out refreshed with more than a few laughs without being overwhelmed.
