Comedies open every week. This is the kind I like best. It grows from human nature and is about how people do their jobs and live their lives.
Some of the on-camera bitchery between Mr. Ford and Ms. Keaton is laugh-out-loud witty. For the most part, Morning Glory is a delicious movie that will make you jump for joy.

this was an amazing movie wow, there was drama, humour, a roller coaster of emotions and i got to say Rachel McAdams was not only inspirational but simply spectacular in this movie, definitely a must watch movie.
Report
Very good movie. Rachel McAdams did a great job, and frankly I think that this movie is really worth to watch, but that's just my opinion. I also think that this film would not be what it is that Harrison Ford is not in it. I sincerely recommend this movie to everybody who likes this kind of movies.

Only a spunky cast prevents the film from being as tedious as a test pattern.
Morning Glory is a cut above most other recent light fare, but not a prime cut.
Morning Glory had the capacity to be a smarter, tarter picture, though it's not bad as is: well-acted and ingratiating, with at least one howlingly funny sequence.
Someone apparently forgot to tell Harrison Ford he was starring in a comedy when he was cast in Morning Glory.
This production is a mess for many reasons, most of them having to do with its frantic efforts to be funny.
This was an extremely light-hearted movie at a time when there is undue stress from the Christmas season, when people are pulling at your heart-strings , not to mention the job situation for many unemployed. It seems to give a feeling of hope and inspiration, at a time most needed. Two thumbs up, Rachel McAdams. You seemed to be the golden thread that tied it all together.

Rachel McAdams shines in the leading role and it does provide laughs but not enough in my opinion. Morning Glory should have been better but the film is still technically a good movie. I give this movie 63%.

Rachel McAdams is annoying. Well, I'm sure she's lovely in real life, but her character in this film would not be in your inner circle of friends. Examples of why not? Let's see. She's ridiculously gorgeous but gets flustered when people ask her if she has a husband or boyfriend. She says "sorry" all of the time. When there is something she cares about and gets animated it comes off as "I'm so perky! Listen to me because I'm perky!" She is always flustered, is dropping things on the ground, and her face usually has a vaguely incredulous look on it. Enough examples yet? Hooray for Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum who verbally smack her down like the yappy dog she is playing. This movie reminds me why I hate morning shows. At one point, Rachel tells Harrison that there was a war between news and entertainment, and news lost. So did America. Shows such as the Today Show, Good Morning America, and the Early Show are just ridiculous. God forbid Americans learn what happened over night in other countries while brewing their coffee. Ford's dialogue saves this film from being a total loss. "You want me to banter? Isn't banter from the Latin word meaning to jabber like a moron?" Responding to Diane Keaton who says, "I had to say rectal and moisture in the same sentence" he retorts with "Well, first dates can be tricky." These lines are few and far between and do not make up for the rest of this nonsense.
Thought of some other ways why Rachel's character is annoying. She bangs her head against various items with an alarming frequency to convey to herself that she is frustrated or embarrassed. She says "hi" at least twice but usually three times when she enters a room. So much to not recommend this film, but to end on a positive note, Chris Matthews and Morley Safer make cameo appearances.

I almost walked out of the theater 3 times, but I wanted to see the relationship between McAdams and Patrick Wilson fleshed out a bit. What the hell is going on with Harrison Ford these days? His "sensitive" turn reminded me of his child-like role in Regarding Henry. Is it just an age thing? I almost have to rent Working Girl to wash the image of his performance in this movie out of my head.
