Watch Morning Glory For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Better Late Then Never

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Morning Glory is a delightful movie of a young woman who breaks through in her job as a morning show producer. Unfortunately they also felt it necessary to justify the hunt for the lowest common denominator in TV. And Becky turns out to be unscrupulous to do anything for the better ratings. Which of course the film sets her up to do. But did they have to make her pursue trash TV so enthusiastically? Quote: "The war between news and entertainment has been going on for years and guess what? Your side lost." That's the plucky whizkid TV producer talking. And the side that lost, according to her is of course the news. And if you disagree with that assessment, you may feel a bit uneasy to root for her success. Harrison Ford presents the other side of serious news that has a drinking problem alienated kids and just isn't very fun. Since this is an uplifting story he eventually succumbs to Beccky's tomboyish charme, infectious enthusiasm and the ruthless brainless stupidity she chooses to perpetuate. Happyend!

Morning Glory is a very motivational movie, it has this vibe that makes you continue achieving in life. Rachel McAdams purely gave a performance that will make you love this film more. It is one of those movies that is really unforgettable and at the same time very enjoyable. It is a movie that is like a book which will make you continue to read more as it has something in it which has best to offer. Morning Glory shows how a person who's very dedicated with his work decide from achieving more or achieving with the people that makes you realize how important is your work and how essential it is to appreciate people that are behind your back helping you and continue making you proud of yourself and your own achievements. It is really a must see movie, truly motivational story and enjoyable film with sweet and great performances of its actors.

Morning Glory is an uplifting and refreshing glass half-full kind of movie, featuring a winning combination of contagious optimism from Rachel McAdams, and dry wit and cynicism from Harrison Ford. McAdams plays a convincing, conscientious executive producer of a morning TV show and her career driven passion encourages viewers to both work hard and strive to achieve their goals, while also suggesting that a healthy balance between work and relationships is essential for a fulfilling and rewarding life.Bottom line, this is an engaging and sweet movie with endearing characters, charming, stylistic direction, a soundtrack reminiscent of a hipster coffee house and is just a generally funny and lighthearted film that will probably make you say "awh!"

From 2010, Morning Glory is a nice film, if predictable and derivative. The big problem I had with it was that with another cast, it could have been a TV movie. The cast is excellent -- Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, and Patrick Wilson. McAdams plays the hard-working, loyal Becky, who has been working at one TV station a long time, when the rumor starts that she is the next producer of the show. When the call comes down from the head office, she finds out she's fired due to budget cuts.Frantic, she starts applying everywhere, and lands an interview at a dying TV show. She convinces the interviewer (Jeff Goldblum) that she is the woman for the job, and gets it.There are some tremendous challenges ahead. First she has to fire the sexist coanchor and find a new one. She decides that a famous news journalist the network has under contract, Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) who is presently being paid $6 million to do nothing, is the man for the job. He absolutely refuses to go to work for a show that does soft news. Becky, however, has looked at his contract. It can be cancelled if he's offered a network job and refuses it. Reluctantly he comes on board and makes everyone's life miserable. He and his coanchor (Diane Keaton) loathe one another. Mike sits there, all right, but little else, and instead of ratings going up, they go down, and Becky's job is in danger, as are the jobs of everyone else. She is given one more chance to save it.Becky knows from her new boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) that Mike is the "third most horrible person in the world," but somehow, she has to convince him to get into the spirit of things.Charming film, though Diane Keaton was wasted in her role as coanchor. Rachel McAdams always reminds me of Jennifer Garner. She's likable and hyper here, as someone who acts insecure but really knows what she's doing.The curmudgeon Mike Pomeroy is played to perfection by Harrison Ford, who has a heart -- somewhere -- but long ago, it was buried by ego and anger as he's come to realize that the pursuit of a big career left him with nothing. His performance at the end of the film makes it what it is - warm, sweet, and fun. A delightful rental.
