Review: Morning Glory
Morning Glory
21 Jan
Harrison Ford has been in quite a lot of films but I’ve never really seen him in that many comedies and he was actually really good in Morning Glory given that it was a film about improving a morning time TV show.
Morning Glory was actually quite enjoyable. The trailers were quite fun and they reflected the film quite well. There wasn’t too much of a story but the whole light heartedness of the whole affair makes me forget about that little detail. This film really was just a light-hearted comedy which was a good contrast to the, quite dark, Black Swan.
Comedy was the goal of Morning Glory and it did have a few hilarious scenes involving the weatherman in some rather exciting activities but the rest of the film was just very light comedy. It was funny, yes. But not funny enough for me to consider watching it again. There was a woman in the cinema that thought that every single joke was absolutely hilarious and that made the jokes seem more funny than they actually were.
My expectations were met quite nicely, I could tell basically what I was going in for and the film delivered to every one of my low targets for the film. It’s nothing new or amazing, just a reasonable comedy film that I wouldn’t recommend but would say that watching it is not a bad thing.
Morning Glory: 2.5/5
