This film stars Rachel McAdams as Becky, a news producer who just got laid off from her job. She gets a chance at DayBreak, a struggling morning show. She attempts to fix up the show and get it to number 1 while trying to hire a new co-host along side of Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton). Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), journalist legend, is her first choice, yet he is difficult to work with and considered one of the worst people on the planet.
This film was slow at parts, but overall very funny and uplifting. The talent is great and it provides a different kind of humor. The characters have great depth to them along with respective dialogue to go with. I also liked how the film did not center too much around the substory of Becky's relationship with her new boyfriend from work--it doesn't take the film on a predictable cheap substory for the sake of adding unnecessary drama. Like I said, some parts were just a little slow.
I really liked this film, and I would definitely watch it again--maybe even buy it if the price was right.
Overall Grade: B+
