![]() Tagline: What's the story?
Local news producer Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams) has finally landed her dream job in the big city – taking the reigns of the national morning news show “Daybreak” in New York. However, from day one, the dream threatens to become a nightmare. She’s got all the spunk, grit and skills a girl could ever need for success but one huge obstacle stands between Becky and her rise to the top: the legendary Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), the cranky, cocky, completely uncooperative anchorman who is about to become her biggest curse… and her only hope for turning around the fate of the last-place morning news program in America.
When Becky arrives at “Daybreak,” even the network has given up on the desperately downward-trending show, which has a reputation for eating up and spitting out even the most seasoned producers before the sun even rises. Even though she doesn’t have any national news experience, Becky is determined that she will be different. Setting in motion a hilarious battle of wits, she decides to try something new: merging the gruff, self-serious style of former evening newsman Pomeroy with the babbling banter and diva-esque confidence of long-time morning host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton.)
It has all the makings of a major disaster – as egos clash and Pomeroy purports to be above doing any weather, celebrity gossip or, heaven forbid, cooking – and soon Becky is struggling to save her reputation, her job, and the blossoming romance with a fellow producer (Patrick Wilson) she thought she’d never find.
