Morning Glory

“Morning Glory”stars Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton in this rather silly comedy written by Aline Broch McKenna and directed by Roger Mitchell. Resembling the likes of “Broadcast News” and other films of the same genre, the movie never quite reaches its potential (assuming it had one) nor does it utilize to any valid degree the talents of Ms. Keaton and Mr. Ford. A ditsy and motor mouth type played by Ms. McAdams supports the film and is the glue that tries (albeit unsuccessfully) to hold it all together. Light fare for an evening where nothing else is playing is probably the only reason someone would go to view this movie. I found myself in such a quandary and opted to see the light comedy versus the other films that were playing around the same time period. I give this film 1 and ½ stars with a warning that it should be viewed only as a last resort when all else either fails or is sold out.
