Review of Morning Glory (2010) by Martin D — 09 Sep 2013

Morning Glory may very well be the epitome of the modern happy-go-lucky Comedy. No raunchy sex, no R-rated jokes, nothing at all in bad taste; it's a rare sort of movie these days, one where characters -- flawed in some way but nevertheless likable -- make the movie, where they're painted as extremes but nevertheless find their way into audiences's hearts.

There's no mystery, no wondering if everything will turn out alright in the end. Morning Glory is a true crowd pleaser, a movie that's comfortable in its own skin and that never gives in to plot devices that don't fit its quaint little structure.

Morning Glory is one of the pleasant surprises of 2010, a movie that didn't break the bank at the box office but that will hopefully find some legs on home video.
