Review

two harrison ford movies in two days. this one was actually more enjoyable. it’s a standard setup – klutzy girl is down on her luck, gets a good job, meets a guy, things turn around. it also has some awful (and overly literal) music, but those things aside the film is entertaining, funny, and has some good performances. the three leads (ford, mcadams and keaton) are all very good. mcadams plays a good range in the film and is likable in spite of the fact that she’s basically crazy and is producing a shitty morning “news” show. ford is the curmudgeon who eventually comes around and he’s good in that role. the ending ties everything up too nicely which is to be expected; it’s what the genre calls for.
