Critics Consensus

It's lifted by affable performances from its impeccable cast, and it's often charming -- but Morning Glory is also inconsistent and derivative.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

Morning Glory is a lackluster knockoff to Devil Wears Prada, minus the heart, cleverness and fashion. It's just not a good time, as it claims to be.

[A] deeply dislikable comedy of embarrassment...

Harrison Ford gives an under-par performance in this disappointing TV-studio-set romantic comedy.

Morning Glory may not be quite glorious and is unashamedly fluff but it is quality fluff and anything that leaves you with as big a smile on your face as this film can’t be bad.

With a great cast (and Harrison Ford having his most fun in years) Morning Glory may be a conventional, sugar-coated Hollywood rom-com, but it’s never less than thoroughly enjoyable.

Rated: 3/5

Because Everyone Else Has One (blog)

But as Morning Glory quickly proves, maybe there's nothing wrong with a bit of good, old-fashioned fluff in your cinematic diet. Especially if the fluff in question is as well-handled, entertaining and flat-out joyful as it is here.

Rated: 7/10

Don't know what is wrong with the critics or audience. A fun romp with a strong cast and Rachel McAdams is as gorgeous as ever.

Better than I expected. Laughed out loud. Thought it was going to be a predictable love story. Turns out, I was surprised. It’s more about letting go of norms and loosening up. Very cute. Harrison Ford was in a totally unexpected role for him

Really pleasant movie about a potentially unpleasant, throat-slashing environment, which is TV news. There were definitely smiles and laughs and the whole proceedings were quite predictable and the real-life dynamics were just touched upon, but the actors involved (Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, etc.) just gave it that extra touch of quality.Really pleasant movie about a potentially unpleasant, throat-slashing environment, which is TV news.

I don't care much for its bad reviews. I've really enjoyed Morning Glory. It made me laugh a couple of times and smile from the middle to the end of the movie.
