Morning Glory (2010)
English director Roger Michell helms this film staring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton. A young woman gets the opportunity to revitalise a morning news program that has long been a disappointment to it's station.
The accusation levelled at morning news programs in this film is they lack real substance and you could easily say the same of the plot of this time which is pretty simplistic and unoriginal. Only token thought is spent on the nature of the type of media the film is involved in which does not help matters either. Given the lack of real plot the film has to live or die on it's characters and there is just not enough time create characters with proper depth, I think this concept would have worked better as a television series rather than a film. In the end this film is fluff but at least the execution is pretty decent.
3/5
