When I reviewed Morning Glory in theaters I found it to be a sad waste of talent considering the cast and as a movie overall it rates at about a made for TV movie. Its funny but nothing special, at all. Between then and now, and giving the film a second shot on Blu-Ray I thought maybe, now that I know what to expect, I could delve even deeper and find the substance I felt it lacked while visiting it in the theater. Unfortunately its just as shallow as it ever was offering up a few laughs in line delivery but remains a mish mash of its various predecessors. On the positive side it looks really good doing it.

QUALITY:
Morning Glory happens to find itself one of those amazing BD transfers that you end up telling your friends, who are still holding out on buying a Blu-Ray Player, about. Its crisp, sharp, vibrant, virtually flawless in all the right area’s. Mind you there is a small amount of grain going on in the background but the transfer manages to give you a high definition picture while retaining its cinematic texture and feel. Audio is just as superb with a DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack that manages to capture dialogue, atmosphere, and ambient sound and keep their individual levels working fluidly so that your able to get a proper mix. Mind you this film is not a sci-fi action flick so rear channels aren’t active as much but sound is amazingly good.

BONUS FEATURES:
And here’s where we find the issues with this release. I want to remind you that as a film Morning Glory doesn’t offer any life affirming messages or Oscar caliber acting. It’s a simple film thrown together from already used idea’s to offer up a good one hundred and seven minutes of generically charming chuckle inducing moments. With that being said I wouldn’t have expected much by way of supplemental material anyway but as a consumer I expect more then this for a film as new as this. What do you get? An HD presented deleted scene that runs a short 46 seconds featuring Diane Keaton and Ty Burrell (Modern Family) talking about shampoo. The other is a commentary track by Director Roger Mitchell and Writer Aline Brosh McKenna.
