What to expect from Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams in the first MORNING GLORY trailer?

May 26

Nocturnal Penile Tumescence is a known condition that every able male experiences. It’s when he wakes in the morning to find his penis is standing to attention– otherwise known as a ‘morning glory’. While an erection usually means the body has certain things in mind, a ‘morning glory’ is the way the body lets a guy know he really needs to wake up and take a leak because his bladder is completely full. I researched this after being fascinated both by the title and execution of the new dramadey starring Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum… Morning Glory.

Disappointingly the film Morning Glory is not about Nocturnal Penile Tumescence, rather a young woman trying to break into the TV industry via morning television programming. Along the way she’ll come up against an increasingly difficult employee, all the while juggling her life ambition, living away from home and, of course, a love life. If that plot sounds remarkably similar to The Devil Wears Prada it’s because the same writer, Aline Brosh McKenna, is also responsible for Morning Glory. Stick with what works, I guess.

I think those flaming this trailer online clicked on it expecting Harrison Ford to

  • Not look old
  • Be flying a spaceship
  • Be wearing a hat

Instead he brings grumpy old character from out of nowhere and actually has me interested in seeing his work for the first time. I mean, what are you supposed to expect when you click on a trailer for a film starring Rachel McAdams written by the same writer as The Devil Wears Prada? For what this film is aiming to be– a simple, straight-laced dramedy about the behind-the-scenes friction of the morning TV business– it looks like it is going to deliver. The trailer might be terrible at times, especially the souring feel-good song at the end, but it perked my interest enough to at least give it a chance. Heck, for those who don’t care for the art of film so much and just want to kick back to some harmless fun and be entertained, this kind of stuff is always gold. Especially on DVD.

    I totally agree with you. This is a Harrison Ford movie i actually looked forward to seeing because of his character.
    For a chick flick the devil wears prada wasn't to bad, so ill happily get dragged along to this movie with the girlfriend.

    Yeah this whole trailer could have stopped immediately after introducing Harrison Ford and I would still be down to see it. The following two minutes were brainless trailer fluff, but there are glimpses of a half-decent movie in there. Colour me intrigued.

  3. I see that somehow somewhere some terms of service have been violated with this trailer being on YouTube. I guess it’s important to keep a trailer a secret…
