Harrison Ford gives an under-par performance in this disappointing TV-studio-set romantic comedy. He plays grumpy veteran newsman Mike Pomeroy, forced to co-anchor an appallingly fluffy breakfast show with Diane Keaton's equally jaded star Colleen Peck. This wacky pairing has been contrived by perky new producer Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams). The script is by Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote The Devil Wears Prada and there are obvious similarities – new kid intimidated by oldster – but nothing about the chemistry works here.

Please tell me the 'romance' is between Ford and Keaton, and not Ford and McAdams.

The film got quite a good reception from the cinema audience and there are some genuinely funny moments. However it was one of those films you kind of felt the component bits you'd seen before somewhere else and have been simply reset here into the breakfast TV studio.
Nothing wrong in my opinion in the performances of Ford or McAdams and if you go not expecting too much it is a pleasant enough way to spend an evening.
