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.

C-

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.

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.

3/5

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.

7/10

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.

If this movie doesn’t make your heart beat faster and inspire you to wake up ready to conquer the world, you’re not alive! Morning Glory is an absolute gem, bursting with energy, humor, wonderful music, and extraordinary performances. Rachel McAdams delivers what I consider her finest performance, driving the entire film with irresistible enthusiasm and charm. Harrison Ford is brilliant, bringing both hilarious grumpiness and deeply moving vulnerability to Mike Pomeroy. Diane Keaton is phenomenal, and the entire ensemble is superb. The screenplay takes us on a beautiful journey from outrageous comedy to genuine emotional depth. The bench scene between Becky and Mike is especially touching, revealing the personal cost of ambition. And those outrageous reporter stunts had me laughing uncontrollably! I’ve watched this film many times, and its magic remains. A life-affirming masterpiece! ★★★★★

A very conventional, very forgettable comedy. Built on a formula you’ve seen many times, with an inert romance and a wasted supporting cast.

Very funny and charming. Hard for me to understand why people didn’t get into it. Holds up well on repeated viewing.

Great cast. Dianne Keaton and Rachel Mcadams were especially great. Harrison Ford was really good too. The whole cast really carried this story beyond its potential. There were a lot of good vibes and funny moments. It's a perfect movie to put on when you are feeling a bit down and need a pick me up.
