Morning Glory

2010/USA/107 mins/Dir. Roger Michell
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton

A new romantic comedy from the makers of The Devil Wears Prada set in the hilarious and dysfunctional world of morning television. When hard-working TV producer Becky (McAdams) is fired from a local news programme her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at “DayBreak” (a national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show “news” or work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck (Keaton); former beauty queen and long-term morning tv personality. As Mike and Colleen clash both on and off the air, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer Adam begins to unravel – and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately the show itself.
