Morning Glory Reviews
- "Morning Glory, a tart, terrific comedy that gives Harrison Ford his best and funniest role in years...Ford and Keaton are delicious together."—Peter Travers of Rolling Stonehttp://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/45905/233186
- "Morning Glory isn’t terrible. It has a lot of craft, a lot of star power, and a fair number of laughs. What irks me is that the filmmakers settle for so little."—David Edelstein of New York Magazinehttp://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/11/movie_review_morning_glorys_co.html
- "This production is a mess for many reasons, most of them having to do with its frantic efforts to be funny."—Joe Morgenstern of Wall Street Journalhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703848204575608401291572326.html?mod=WSJ_ArtsEnt_LifestyleArtEnt_2
- "To be sure, the film stumbles a bit at the end and there’s nothing strikingly original about any of it. However, the sharp comic timing of the cast, the likable characters...and the spark between McAdams and Ford make Morning Glory one of the most delightful and surprising films of the season. There’s nothing more in store here but sheer entertainment and that’s more than enough."—Chuck Koplinski of The Illinois Timeshttp://www.illinoistimes.com/Springfield/article-8006-morning-glory-a-delightful-surprise.html
