Morning Glory

Today Andrea and I saw Morning Glory.  I was unimpressed and a little let down.  For some reason, I expected this movie to be better than what I saw.  I thought it would be funnier and a little less awkward.  I love Rachel McAdams, and I love how she has played a variety of roles for all the movies that she has starred in, but I was disappointed in her character.  I though she acted the part well, though.  She plays this awkward, frantic, and work-absorbed morning news producer for a failing morning news show.  Practically every scene has her doing something embarrassing or running in a frenzy to get somewhere.  And I mean, COME ON PEOPLE, no woman could run that long in heels without having to wear sneakers or flip flops the next day.  SERIOUSLY.  I found that type of character cute at first, but it became increasingly annoying as the movie dragged on.  And of course, a charming, semi-good looking guy falls in love with her quirky and eccentric mannerisms.  After some predictable plot twists and resolutions, the movie begins to come to a close, but takes a little longer than it should have, and ends happily for all parties involved.  Morning Glory is a "nice date / I don't want to think too deeply" kind of movie with lovably characters and a story of success that all young journalists aspire to.
