A few years ago Rachel McAdams was targeted as the next Julia Roberts due to her excellent performances in the Notebook, Wedding Crashers, and Red Eye. Her selection of movies since then have been mixed with many poor choices.
Morning Glory displays why Rachel McAdams was targeted in the first place. This movie showcases her amazing talent and why she will eventually be the next big thing. The movie is a Broadcast News reboot. It’s the story of an upstart television producer, McAdams, who accepts the challenge of reviving a struggling morning show program. Jeff Goldblum, who is always good, plays her boss.
This is not a chick flick and the critics have not been fair to this movie. Sure Harrison Ford and Dian Keaton are too old to play Morning Show hosts but they have excellent banter together and the chemistry between Ford and McAdams feels true.
The Daybreak weatherman provides laughs as he does a takeoff of Al Roker from the Today Show.
Verdict:
Netflick Broadcast News, which is dated but still good, then go see this movie. This film should pull McAdams out of the pack of Julia Roberts wannabes and put her next to Reese Witherspoon as a major talent.
