Morning Glory (2010 Roger Michell)

Not about erections or LSD; not up to Aline Brosh McKenna's other scripts.

Rachel McAdams is perhaps too nervy and Harrison Ford too one-note but Diane Keaton is good. Also with Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum and John Pankow (TV's Episodes).

It is of course quite predictable, though I was hoping the Ford-Keaton sniping to have become the reason everyone watched the show, and would have been more fun (maybe that was the writer's intention at one point?) Also suffers from too many songs imposed on scenes that don't need to be there, though it's quite stylishly made as you'd expect (shot by Alwin Küchler and edited by Dan Farrell, Nick Moore, Steven Weisberg).

Overall quite enjoyable especially in team scenes.
