Preview: Morning Glory (2010)

Synopsis:

A ratings-starved morning show gets a new producer who doesn't realize the mess she's getting into, including a vitriolic old newscaster who must be paired with a co-host with whom he has a confrontational history.

Review:

While those are familiar with the phrase "What's the story, morning glory" it is important to let the younger generation (who aren't likely to see the film anyway) know why the film is titled Morning Glory. And in the process, the makers have created posters that are difficult to look at, garish and uninteresting.

Despite being just a combination of the prior three posters, it drops the corny tagline and leaves it much more simple. Still, not a great design, but at least it's an improvement.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

Harrison Ford hasn't looked this entertaining in many years. And with the incomparable Diane Keaton at his side, you have the potential for an amusing film. There are elements that make this seem like another It's Complicated, but that shouldn't dim its box office prospects.

Oscar Prospects:

If it's more critic friendly or manages to eclipse the success of It's Complicated, we could see Harrison Ford's with his first Oscar nomination in a quarter century and see others in the cast and the production right alongside him.
