Morning Glory (2010) 7/10

Starring : Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton
Director : Roger Michell
Running Time : 108 mins

Recently fired TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is desperate to get a new job, so when she is offered the position of producer on the increasingly unpopular day time show, “Daybreak”. When she is then forced to fire one of the hosts, she finds herself desperately trying to secure news reporters Mike Pomeroy (Ford) into the position on the show, a task that is anything but easy when it comes to the egotistical TV veteran…

It’s unusual to see Harrison Ford in a role where he is actually unlikeable, so it was nice to see him trying it out for a change. Ironically this is a likeable light comedy, with Rachel McAdams leading an all-star cast in what many will feel is just another boring rom-com, but others will thoroughly enjoy this thanks to the great acting skills of Keaton and Harrison and the warm presence of McAdams who always makes me smile.
