Review of 'Morning Glory'

 

Sort of a rom-com...well, it has the form of a rom-com...single woman who is attractive but a bit quirky, loses her job radio producer but then gets a new one as the producer of a failing morning TV show where her counterpart is a handsome (and kind, and and intelligent) hunk. But the romantic dimension is not the real focus of the film, which is more about the tension between the protagonist and a curmudgeonly news reporter who is contractually obliged to become her anchor, only he hates it because morning TV is beneath him as a hard-nosed news reporter. He's played by Harrison Ford, natch, and the less serious but game female anchor is Diane Keaton, which ought to be a warning - not many good films with Diane Keaton in them.

It's not badly done but it's not very interesting either...sort of a corp-com.

Watched on Netflix.
