Review of Morning Glory (2010) by Enrica C — 03 Dec 2011

A very sweet, actual movie that tells the story of a woman fighting with everyday difficulties in a TV network. "Morning Glory" gets through many turning points, it gets back on its steps, it evolves and changes colors but it doesn't carry any unpredictable surprise or great, life-changing message. At the end of its 102 minutes it does leave a feeling with the audience, but it's not a strong one. Still, it's a very pleasant movie to watch. Relaxing, not mind-consuming or violent or complicated.

Rachel McAdams did a great job as Becky. I'm sure she'll get someplace in the next years, too bad many people still don't appreciate her talent: she's so different in every single movie she's in. And it was fun to see Harrison Ford playing the part of a mean, feelingless (apparently at least) man -- that was something new. And DIane Keaton was as great as always too.

It's un-truth, nobody would ever refuse a contract with a famous TV network -- but it's also very funny, sweet and gives space to that 'women power' that I so often enjoy in movies. Its soundtrack went well with it. Reminded me of "The Devil Wears Prada". Enjoyable but not unforgettable or fantastic.
