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.

The Film Stage

McKenna and Michell seem to believe you can have fun without being patronized in the movie theater. And while their film isn’t a home run in the dwindling sub-genre of intelligent rom-coms, it’s a solid double.

Rated: B+

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

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

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.

This cast is able to elevate the script and story but that still isn't enough to save this movie.
