Morning Glory

Every once in awhile a movie comes along that fits my category of delightful. This one does that.. Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Dianne Keaton, Jeff Goldblum, with Patrick Wilson as the romantic interest all did a delightful job in bringing this movie to the screen.

Aliceart from Seattle Washington wrote a review of the film on the IMDb site for the film

She says:

Rachel McAdams is taking the lead this time in a rom-com that adds a little pathos, shows the rest of the world what it's like to be totally committed to a job (being a former workaholic, I can totally relate to this.) The pace is set at "sprint" and actually does a great job of going the distance. 10 cuts above a sit-com, but could possibly be turned into a very successful one about a fictional struggling #4 slot on the network morning show circuit. Adding to the mix and a lot of credibility, Jeff Goldblum, Dianne Keaton, and Harrison Ford, looking every bit his 60+ years, but still has a boyishness to his demeanor that hearkens back to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Patrick Wilson is the rom in "rom-com" and he holds his ground against the whirling dervishness of Rachel's character. The writing is outstanding and the one-liners, priceless. Check it out.

She is right. Even though the theater had only about 4 other people in it at the 4:45 show I laughed out loud several times The one-liners were terrific. Even choked up a little once in awhile. Harrison Ford and Dianne Keaton are at a comfortable place in their careers where they can take roles that they want to have fun with and it was obvious that they both had fun with this film. Because they were having fun with it, I had a great time in the theater tonight. It is a good feeling film. I recommend it heartily.
