Morning Glory
A young and devoted morning television producer is hired as an executive producer on a long-running morning show at a once-prominent but currently failing station in New York City. Eager to keep the show on air, she recruits a former news journalist and anchor who disapproves of co-hosting a show that does not deal with real news stories.
Critics Sentiment
Mike Pomeroy confronts the Governor and breaks his arrest story live
Jerry Barnes threatens to cancel DayBreak due to declining ratings
The film jumps dramatically from Jerry's cancellation threat to Ernie's hilarious weatherman stunts, with reviewers noting this as the turning point where the movie becomes genuinely entertaining.
Morning Glory delivers a predictable but charming workplace comedy elevated by strong performances, particularly Harrison Ford's grumpy anchor and Rachel McAdams' energetic producer. The film starts formulaically but gains momentum through entertaining character conflicts and weatherman antics, peaking with Mike's live news scoop. While reviewers found the romance subplot dispensable and the plot conventional, most appreciated the feel-good ending and Ford's surprisingly effective comedic performance.
