Vargas, Mario Frieson, Kevin Herbst, Jerome Weinstein, Steve Park, David FontenoAls die Fernsehproduzentin Becky Fuller die Chance erhält, die Leitung des New Yorker Morgenmagazins "Daybreak" zu übernehmen, scheint auf den ersten Blick ein Traum in Erfüllung zu gehen. Als erste Maßnahme zieht sie sich den namhaften Moderator Mike Pomeroy an Land. Doch der empfindet es als unter seiner Würde, über die primitiven Themen eines ordinären Morgenmagazins zu berichten und verhält sich alles andere als kooperativ. Streitereien und Zickenkrieg verwandeln Beckys Karriere schon bald in ein Alptraum-Szenario.
Für seinen neuen Film hat Regisseur Roger Michell ("Notting Hill") sich Altstars wie Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford oder Jeff Goldblum an Bord geholt, die mit Selbstironie auftrumpfen und perfekt harmonieren. Die Handlung reiht sich ein in die zahlreichen Filmstoffe über weibliche Karrieren in amerikanischen Metropolen wie z. B. "His Girl Friday" oder "Working Girl", deren smarte Protagonistinnen stets den harten Kampf innerhalb der Führungsetage erleben müssen - und am Ende doch mit Bravour ans Ziel gelangen.
Becky (Rachel McAdams) is a hard-working morning TV show producer, or at least she was until she got fired. Desperate to get a job, she finally gets an interview with Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) - who is desperate to hire a producer for the struggling show "Daybreak". Becky accepts the job and it proves to be more difficult than even she might be able to handle. She has to fire the sexist co-host, then try to convince egotistical news reporter, Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), to take the job, and then try and get him to actually do the job, properly. And she has to do this while falling for handsome Adam (Patrick Wilson), and trying to save the show from plummeting ratings. Will Becky be able to hold on to her dream job and her sanity?
