Movie Review: Morning Glory

Sometime between stuffing ourselves silly with turkey and donning formal ware for a deb ball, my family managed to squeeze in a trip to the movies where the Hallemann women saw Morning Glory, Rachel McAdams latest romantic comedy. Though less than an intellectually stimulating classic, the film was cute. I must say, I liked it even more than I thought I would.
 
Morning Glory follows McAdams' character Becky Fuller as she works to revive a struggling network morning show. Amidst heavy hitters Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford who play the show's quibbling co-hosts, McAdams held her own and carried the movie. Fuller is anal retentive, persistent, ambitious and a touch naive without being annoying. Hard to believe, I know. The dialogue is sharp and witty, but I do wish the love story had been a bit more developed.

But overall, I definitely recommend it.

Next on my list: Natalie Portman's psychological thriller Black Swan.
