What to Know

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. Rated: C- Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Philip French Guardian [A] deeply dislikable comedy of embarrassment... Jan 26, 2011 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "Morning Glory" works because of it's all about the quirks and characters instead of the issues that really make up the news. Rated: 3/5 Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review McAdams is incredibly likable in her role, bright and confident, slightly awkward in a rambles-when-nervous sort of way, and yet with enough energy to stand up with the likes of powerhouse actors such as Ford and Keaton. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Morning Glory isn't trying to be Network or Broadcast News but it doesn't need to be because it's both fun and entertaining enough in its own right. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 7, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Dani G Very predictable, but an OK popcorn flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Daniel G 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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review David L 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Sean S This cast is able to elevate the script and story but that still isn't enough to save this movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Snuggly Criminally underrated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
