Reviews

" Roger Michell has his first comedy since " turned Notting Hill "(1999) - and presents a pace, as if he had been waiting for. The rapid exchange of blows reminiscent of screwball classics like " His Girl Friday " with Cary Grant. And Michell does not commit about the faux pas, the young thing and the old hands to seal a romance. Patrick Wilson ( " The Switch " ) plays namely also with ... But ties Hollywoods most charming minimum Mime Harrison Ford, who scarcely deigns into a snarl here after 22 years in one of his signature roles, which is slightly displaced between loud Jedis and Indy: the businessman in the Eighties classic " Working Girl ", which conveys the wise secretary Melanie Griffith from the hall in the executive suite. "

" The Creepy on Morning Glory is the complete lack of awareness of the problem with which the film treats its subject matter. That is discussed in a massive upheaval everywhere on the role of media in newspapers, on television and the Internet, of which he knows nothing. Director Roger Michell imagined instead a tasteless media dream world in pink and finds for the corresponding images: McAdams ' hair surges in slow motion; People sipping coffee from paper cups with an air of importance and meet her true love in an elevator; and Harrison Ford may be eternal grummelnder Star journalist as uninhibited and charging, with socks fetish as McAdams. What a secondary mainstream melodrama could have been, it is a real nuisance. "
