A new romantic comedy set in the hilarious and dysfunctional world of morning television. When hard-working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to ... read more read more...look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at "Daybreak" (the last-place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts, let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality, who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel. And soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

    I liked it, didn't love it. One of the better not-totally-generic-but-still-totally predictable rom-com in recent years.

    Not an out and out entertainer, this one's a watchable comedy.

    Intelligent, witty, feel-good comedy with cute'n'perky Rachel McAdams. Harrison Ford was hilarious as the very grumpy, very egotistical, "on air talent". I don't usually enjoy watching chronically grumpy, or egotistical people, but Harrison Ford was so funny it was impossible not... read more to enjoy him.

    An hilarious and funny movie. Harrison Ford (Mike Pomeroy) is hilarious and Rachel McAdams (Becky Fuller) is just adorable. I found the part with Ernie (Matt Malloy), riding the roller coaster to be hilarious.

    Gloriously enjoyable and fresh as a summer morning! Rachel McAdams is a real beam of energy as the spirited and neurotic Becky Fuller, who after losing her job as a TV producer, goes on a frenetic hunt for new employment. Dead-set on success, not much time passes by before she's ... read morehired yet again - altough this time she gets a little more than she bargained for. Quick in pace and nicely written, it's a lighthearted story with a supreme supporting cast. Besides movie legend Harrison Ford, we're also treated to an appearance by the venerable Jeff Goldblum. He seems to have put his career a bit on ice these days, so it's good to see him back in the saddle again, if only for a few scenes. In whatever case though, this is an entertaining humor piece with lots of talents both behind and in front of the camera. A safe bet if you're on the lookout for an easily-digested mood-lifter. And did I mention Harrison Ford is in it?

    Mike Pomeroy: I'm not saying the word "fluffy".

    I truly enjoyed this classy, lighthearted comedy. Having low expectations for this movie, I was pleasantly surprised! Aside from outstanding performances, this film also boasts J.J. 'Star Trek' Abrams as a credited producer. It is ... read morealways a satisfaction seeing Abrams work, even if he isn't the director. I've been a fan of Abrams since LOST and I continue to enjoy his work. But enough about Abrams, this movie is wonderfully directed by Roger Michell, who previously directed Notting Hill. Michell gives this film a very classy approach that doesn't seem too modern, but it was a nice refresher breath from all of the usual modern movies.

    I love harrison ford moody character that actually has a heart and i loved rachel mcadams that actually also surprised me.

    Yes, well, let's see here. Network is probably the greatest film about the media and the behind the scenes action at television stations, and, while this film tonally is on the opposite spectrum, it is surprisingly not on that same side where quality is concerned.

    Yes, this fil... read morem is not very original, the story is pretty routine, and there's a bit of slightly unnecessary stuff, (the romance side plot), but this film is nevertheless a very charming, well-meaning, and entertaining comedy, even if it is light and breezy.

    I sometimes really like light and breezy, and at this time, this was what I needed. It is good, too...very fun. Grumpy Harrison Ford is always a joy to see, and how can you not like Rachel McAdams? I could have used more of Goldblum and a tad more of Keaton, and maybe just a tad bit of substance, but really, that's okay if not all of my wishes got fulfilled.

    This is all pretty familiar, but it's comforting, and it is actually done pretty competantly, so yeah, give it a watch.

Everything in this movie, written by Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by Roger Michell, seems way off. Full Review

This production is a mess for many reasons, most of them having to do with its frantic efforts to be funny. Full Review

Morning Glory is a tart, terrific comedy that gives Harrison Ford his best and funniest role in years. Full Review

Has moments of sparkle, but the screenplay disappoints and the luminous Rachel McAdams overdoes it. Full Review

McAdams is typically effervescent here, but she can't rescue this weak comedy. Full Review

Morning Glory isn't terrible. It has a lot of craft, a lot of star power, and a fair number of laughs. What irks me is that the filmmakers settle for so little. Full Review

[McAdams's] Adorability Quotient is off the charts. If being ingratiating is a crime, she'd be shot at sunrise. But this good nature doesn't seem forced. Full Review

Morning Glory isn't targeting the dumbing down of TV news. It's pandering to the audience that craves the dumbness Full Review
