Michells camera swoops, the soundtrack swells, and that pretty little dress flaps artfully. Sensible suits, you see, dont waft in the wind.

Morning Glory is a funny entertainment to begin with, and then Rachel McAdams transforms it. And Harrison Ford transforms himself.

Morning Glory stays firmly on the launchpad, doing increasingly desperate run ups, but collapsing in a gawky heap whenever it tries to take off.

Morning Glory is like a forced marched of adorableness, backed by a music supervisors mix tape of syrupy songs.

Such stock tricks of the genre do little to make up for the fact that Glorys central non professional romance is cursory and unconvincing.

A bizarre celebration of dumbing down that fails to work as satire, comedy or romance. The characters are one note and a good cast is wasted.
