This production is a mess for many reasons, most of them having to do with its frantic efforts to be funny.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Fresh
Morning Glory is a tart, terrific comedy that gives Harrison Ford his best and funniest role in years.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh
The message of Morning Glory -- that austere TV journalists could stand to lighten up a bit -- may be dubious, but Michell and his cast sell it persuasively.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
Has moments of sparkle, but the screenplay disappoints and the luminous Rachel McAdams overdoes it.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
