When hard–working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at "Daybreak" (the last–place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts – let alone work with his new co–host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel – and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.This movie is formula in every way. And even though I heard nothing but the worst reviews/buzz going in, I kind of enjoyed it. I thought that the three main characters were all very real. I fully bought in to Rachel McAdams trying so hard character and found myself rooting for her to pull it all off. There was good chemistry/banter between all the morning show on screen talent and behind the scenes talent.
I would recommend people checking this out. Its not nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be and there are much worse things that you could be seeing at theaters.
