MORNING GLORY

I thought Morning Glory was fantastic. It far exceeded my expectations, thats for sure. I usually dread watching Dianne Keaton (she's so... samey) but she is fabulous in this. Harrison Ford is brilliant as the stoic, egotistical and arrogant veteran news anchor and you get the sense that he relished the part. The movie takes place behind the scenes of a low-rating morning breakfast program and has Rachel McAdams stepping in as executive producer. The movie is amusing from the getgo but it really gets hilarious during the 3rd act, mostly due to the weather guy getting put thru the ringer. The movie works because it's cast perfectly and more so because it's directed by Roger Mitchell who is yet to make a bad movie imo (Notting Hill, Enduring Love, Changing Lanes etc). Well worth a look... good fluffy fun!
