Movie #380 "Morning Glory" is Rachel McAdams' movie --- she's unbelievably good ---in everything that she has done, not just this one. She's worth it to see this movie ------ If you are going for Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford or Patrick Wilson (he's not in it enough), you again won't be disappointed, because they all deliver, though I found it difficult to see Harrison Ford as the best actor in Hollywood for the role (Dave and I thought Kevin Costner might have been better --- or definitely Sean Connery (without the accent, perhaps?) because he mumbles quite a bit and when he puts on a broadcasting demeanor, it seems phony! Anyway, the film is fun, but a little dated by now? Maybe the movie should have been out a couple of years ago because the conflict of hard vs. soft news is no longer a big conflict, is it? we've all gone to soft news, pretty much, at least on the major stations. Anyway, the Nottinghill director shows he knows moments, so the film moves along pretty well, and I think you'd like this film if you liked "Broadcast News" and surprisingly, the two female leads (McAdams and Holly Hunter) play the same kind of flaky, stressed out but really smart producers. I liked it and recommend it. As Harrison Ford would say, "It's quite fluffy" but good!

Morning Glory
(2010) PG-13
Whiz-kid producer Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams) finds her abilities put to the test when she's charged with bringing a network morning show back from ratings purgatory. Her first job: getting the show's feuding, acid-tongued co-hosts (Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton) under control. Jeff Goldblum co-stars as Fuller's network-exec boss and Patrick Wilson is Becky's put-upon boyfriend in this comedy from the writer of The Devil Wears Prada.
