<P><STRONG><FONT size=1 face=Tahoma><BIG>What a pleasure it is to watch a
well-cast, well-written comedy for grownups. <I>Morning Glory</I> has a smart
premise and just the right people to carry it out: Rachel McAdams, as an
overeager TV producer who locks horns with her new host, a once-respected news
anchor played by Harrison Ford, as well as his co-host, a prima donna played by
Diane Keaton. The parts might have been written with these actors in mind;
that’s how perfectly they inhabit them and play off one another. McAdams is
delightful in an all-too-rare comedy role, and works well opposite the men she
encounters: her boss, Jeff Goldblum, her colleague and possible lover, Patrick
Wilson, and best of all, her recalcitrant star, Harrison Ford. What a pleasure
to see him in </BIG></FONT></STRONG><BIG><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma><STRONG>a role
that he can really sink his teeth into.</STRONG></FONT></BIG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=1><BIG>The script, by Aline Brosh
McKenna, whose credits include <I>The Devil Wears Prada</I>, is filled with
sharp dialogue and is built on a believable foundation. Roger Michell’s
direction reinforces that credibility, with Mark Friedberg’s production design
evoking the look and feel of a dilapidated newsroom along with a typical TV
control room and stage. The people seem genuine—or only slightly exaggerated—so
we’re able to invest in the movie. As a result, the laughs come naturally and
never seem forced.</BIG><BR><BIG>It’s a pleasure to recommend <I>Morning
Glory</I>, and root for its success, so Hollywood might be inspired to make more
films just like it.</BIG><BR><BR></FONT></FONT></STRONG></P><!-- surphace end -->
