Morning Glory (2010)

After being let go from her previous producer gig, the only employment Becky can find is as an EP on the lowest-rated national morning news program. She impresses the staff immediately but finds herself with an almost impossible challenge when she brings a celebrated but curmudgeonly newsman to her "fluffy" morning show.

This could've been great if it had embraced the "show don't tell" philosophy. If there had been a few approving glances, for example, we would've understood how valued Becky was. The same goes for her romance -- at the end of the movie she tells him he was the first person she wanted to tell her big news to, and I didn't even realize they'd made it past the casual sex phase. Basically, the movie needed about 8 more minutes to let some of the relationships breathe a little bit so we could see their depths. As it stood, this is fun, when it had the potential to be fun and moving (like a bran donut).
