Morning Glory, like its administrator Roger Michell’s best notable film, Notting Hill, doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but takes it for a affable circuit about town. He trades the blah skies of London for the skyscrapers of Manhattan with a fun if formulaic adventurous ball that boasts an absorbing but underused cast, including Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Jeff Goldblum.

Of course, the absolute brilliant of the appearance is Becky Fuller, the behind-the-scenes bang-up of fabulous arrangement IBS’ (what a name) apprentice morning appearance Daybreak, played by America’s newest sweetheart Rachel McAdams. She gives Becky spunk, attractiveness and a able boldness to accomplish in a business that isn’t affectionate to new recruits. Her assignment is simple to butt but adamantine to execute: animate the appearance and addition its ratings. Had she been alive with Matt Lauer or Diane Sawyer, the job would’ve been accessible but the blur would’ve absent out on the possibilities for screwball abode comedy.

The heartiest action are provided by acknowledging characters like Ty Burell’s Paul McVee, who is added absorbing to watch in his ten account of awning time than the majority of the amount casting throughout the film’s 102 minute run. Not every appearance is meant for banana relief, though, like Ford’s glottal bear Mike Pomeroy, a hard-nosed, award-winning announcer and antique of the accomplished in a apple added absorbed in “fluff” over facts. Pomeroy is strong-armed by Becky into Daybreak co-hosting duties because of a article in his contract, and he does aggregate he can to accomplish her activity a active hell. His abhorrence to abet is eventually debilitated as a aftereffect of a “mutual understanding” amid the two, but it feels affected as he betrays his own ethics for a almost developed friendship.

Even added affected is the around abortive adulation bend amid Becky and Adam Bennett (Patrick Wilson), a adolescent ambassador at IBS who advises her not to appoint Pomeroy based on his own abrogating acquaintance with the acclimatized commentator. You could abolish the appearance from the blur absolutely after affecting the end result. Unfortunately, the aforementioned can be said for Keaton’s co-host, Colleen Peck, whose arc mirrors Ford’s but who arrives at the accomplishment band first. It’s a shame, really, because both are accomplished actors who could accept done a lot added with characters with a bit added depth.

Its bulletin about the sad accompaniment of American media aside, abyss isn’t what Morning Glory is about. This is a animated ball with a few chuckles and affluence of charm. Sure, it’s silly, but it’s absolutely not brainless and doesn’t get ever sentimental. The script, address of The Devil Wears Prada book Aline Brosh McKenna, is aciculate abundant to absorb if you don’t anticipate too adamantine about it. It may not be the best memorable cine you’ll see this winter, but it’ll absolutely accompany a smile to your face.
