Morning Glory-- In my opinion, there are only a few QUALITY comedy/drama hybrids released by Hollywood each year- this film is one of them.
I was initially annoyed with how wired Rachel McAdams’ character was in the film, but came to accept it as appropriate given the subject matter- it didn’t hurt one bit that I find her highly attractive, bangs and all. Harrison Ford puts in his best work since 2000’s What Lies Beneath- he’s one of the elite living actors and no Crystal Skulls horseshit can erase that. Diane Keaton is slightly underutilized, while Patrick Wilson (as our heroine’s love interest) seems like an afterthought. Jeff Goldblum’s role is next to nothing and a very cool John Pankow makes the most of limited screen time. It’s well-written, terrifically acted, funny and unbelievably well-filmed for it’s genre.
Highly Recommended.
8.0 outta 10
