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.

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.

Very cute and surprisingly funny at times, “Morning Glory” will make a great date movie.

Rated: 3.5/5

This is an old fashion movie star movie, giving its performers a decent enough journey to let them do what they do. Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson create an appealing and accessible throwback to ensemble chemistry.

Rated: 3.5/5

Why So Blu

What you have here is a pleasant romantic comedy with enjoyable performances. It’s nothing special, but the talent involved doesn’t hurt.

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.

Happy, upbeat, resilient, and full of good cheer. Lighthearted and good-spirited. With the kids, with a date (and a bag of hot, buttered popcorn) -- it is a fun diversion.
