From director Roger Michell – not to be confused with Radha Mitchell – (“Notting Hill,” “Venus”), producer J.J. Abrams (“Felicity,” “Alias,” “Lost,” “Star Trek”), and writer Aline Brosh McKenna (“The Devil Wears Prada,” “27 Dresses”), comes the big screen movie “Morning Glory,” a romantic comedy set in the dysfunctional world of morning television.
Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton star along with Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum.
When hard-working TV producer Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at “Daybreak” (the last-place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts; let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning “news.” As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Patrick Wilson) begins to unravel; and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.
