Morning Crusade




Morning TV is kitschy, perk-you-up content that is not to the liking of much decorated veteran-of-many-Pulitzers-and-warzones journalist Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) – once a star, the IBS (channel) veteran now likes to keep his talent and his thoughts mostly to himself. So, in the tussle between Mike and Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams), the latter being the rookie IBS producer of morning show Daybreak trying to find her footing with a disillusioned team and a bottom-of-the-barrel show to manage, the expected outcome is somewhat foregone. Er.. not quite. Never underestimate the power of positive energy, which Becky carries to a superhuman degree, in rousing up the workplace and soporific old-timers. No wonder Becky rises to Morning Glory in her morning show fraternity, but will she eschew great offers for her new-found family? A charming and uplifting tale, albeit a slightly tall one.
