When I have these many thoughts further waking my senses, I just gotta blog.
After watching Mr. Nobody (2009), I decided to wash off with a feel-good comedy film. Andy Fickman's You Again (2010) tells the story of Marni, vice president of a prestigious public relations company in New York, she comes home for his brother's wedding, only to find out he is going to marry the girl who gave her high school life the worst nightmares.
It has your typical linear narrative. But I did have a few good laughs, enough to make me want to write something about it. Quite frankly, it is more about Marni's job. She works in the field of Public Relations which happens to be a part of my course, AB Mass Communication. I know that there are a lot of characters in the movies with the same career, but I simply needed to mention it as an introduction for the next review.
CUE IN: BACKGROUND MUSIC
(and every time I listen to this song, I feel the feeling of hope and power, and everything in between.)
And so, here goes another romantic comedy film, Roger Michell's Morning Glory (2010). Starring my ever so favorite Rachel McAdams as Becky Fuller -- a hard-working TV producer who desperately accepts a job as an executive producer of a struggling morning show program after getting fired from her previous company. As Becky strives to revive and save the show, she also deals with the network's prominent (and crazy) anchors.
Aside from the adoring McAdams, her character Becky is quite a charmer too. I instantly fell in love with her because, for the most part, she represents people like me in a more convincing way than usual. Clumsy, tends to talk a lot when tense, but is truly a hard worker. Has quirky habits, but optimistic, and determined. In comparison to The Ugly Truth wherein Katherin Heigl also plays a morning show TV producer, Morning Glory focuses more on Becky's line of work. Which is like a breath of fresh air. Because surprisingly, it has enough romance (with the help of the handsome Patrick Wilson) and humor. I genuinely loved this film in so many levels. With its engaging plot, amazing actors (I didn't know Han Solo was such a primadonna), and incredibly inspiring theme, Morning Glory is definitely worth-watching.
Most morning glory flowers perk up and harden during the early morning and are often fully erect, thus their name. They prefer full exposure throughout the day.
