Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Harrison Ford stars as Mike Pomeroy, a grumpy veteran journalist who has fallen from grace and is forced into co-presenting an ailing morning television show in a bid to boost ratings, in this satire.
He's in his comfort zone as a grouch but Ford is a delight to watch, particularly during his verbal sparring scenes with Diane Keaton, who plays his equally cynical co-host Colleen Peck. Unfortunately, after a fantastic opener that gives a depressingly accurate portrayal of the perils of a media career, via Rachel McAdams as a workaholic executive producer, this witty send-up dives into clichéd territory with little character or plot development for the remainder of the film.
