PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Filip Melich Movies/TV series about journalism interest me. The other reason I wanted to check Morning Glory out was cast. I have a huge respect for Harrison Ford, I simply adore Rachel McAdams and I like Jeff Goldblum and John Pankow. Also, J. J. Abrams is listed as a producer which seemed interesting to me. And yeah, H. Ford does a great job of playing grumpy old man and R. McAdams is just adorable (not in any demeaning way). But the movie tries so hard to be more than it is. For example - it tries to by heartwarming, but fails and is cringey in many places instead. The story itself isn't anything special, but tries to seem as something worth a deeper thought. But the acting or story aren't the reasons why I rated this movie 5/10 (barely). I think that the director is the one to blame. It is the way how he tells the story that just misses the mark with me.
justintomovies Morning Glory is a very motivational movie, it has this vibe that makes you continue achieving in life. Rachel McAdams purely gave a performance that will make you love this film more. It is one of those movies that is really unforgettable and at the same time very enjoyable. It is a movie that is like a book which will make you continue to read more as it has something in it which has best to offer. Morning Glory shows how a person who's very dedicated with his work decide from achieving more or achieving with the people that makes you realize how important is your work and how essential it is to appreciate people that are behind your back helping you and continue making you proud of yourself and your own achievements. It is really a must see movie, truly motivational story and enjoyable film with sweet and great performances of its actors.
Python Hyena Morning Glory (2010: Dir: Roger Mitchell / Cast: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum: Comedic drama about ideas and expression. Rachel McAdams stars as a producer of a struggling morning talk show that she would like to elevate from the bottom point just as she is in her personal life. She lands this title after being fired from her previous job. Now she must prove herself and does so by hiring a difficult news anchor to replace a previous host alongside the remaining host. Directed by Roger Mitchell who previously had success with Notting Hill, and he is backed with terrific sets and a great cast. It plays off romance in the work place in a similar way Notting Hill applied romance to show business but within a civilian outsider. McAdams is on target trying to juggle the many job demands, combating personalities and romance. She comes from a downfall but turns it around and struggles greatly to do so. What is learned here is that despite the down time hard work can pay off with great results. Harrison Ford steals the film as the difficult veteran news anchor who must learn to be a team player. Diane Keaton plays the veteran host at odds with Ford. It is terrific to see these two veteran performers argue back and forth. Only Patrick Wilson is a weak link as a romantic prop. He seems to have no other function other than to appear periodically to take McAdams to lunch and figure out how to bed her. Wilson is beyond this sort of cardboard crap. Other than that this is an engaging film about the industry up long before we're out of bed. Score: 9 ½ / 10
leplatypus Well, this movie was such awful that before writing this review, I checked between for the age gap between Harrison and Al Pacino (the older for 2 years). I did that because it's striking how their evolution are totally opposite. Decades ago, it was rather Harrison who was cool, compassionate while Al was cold, heartless. Today, far later in their career, Al keeps getting sweet and warmly whereas Harrison becomes totally grumpy! Here, the hero of my childhood is just despicable from start to finish and to make things worse, the story is totally a failure. We have to wait one hour to see actually Harrisson doing his first morning show which is however the main subject here and also that's left only 40 minutes to tell something! But Harrison isn't the only culprit here! If you take the sexy and energetic MacAdams, here she just can't give something emotional. So, it's long, it's dull, it's not funny and the prestigious cast can't save anything! If it's not the definition of a stinker, I don't know how to tell it other way!
