Anyone else find Becky really annoying?

Rachel McAdams did not annoy me in the slightest bit. I realized her over exuberance was a part of the character and she was supposed to be “too perky” in some scenes. The writer’s knew this as evidenced by the other character's responses when she displayed an overabundance of sprightliness -- "That was embarrassing," "Are you going to sing?" and "You're nuts!" She tuned it down some after spending some time with her bf. But she couldn’t turn it down too much because it was a part of how and why she turned the show around. I saw it as part of her character and it was not intolerable for me. And it didn’t seem to annoy too many critics judging by the reviews. Even if they hated the movie, most were happy with her.

Your original post makes it sound like McAdams is an untalented floozie who makes Pia Zidora look like Katherine Hepburn. I have seen some posts they may agree with this sentiment, but a majority do not. I’m not saying this is the “Greatest Performance Ever,” but just that she had to overdo it for some scenes to demonstrate she is an energetic woman who, while focused, also tends to overlook some of her own needs as a result and misses it sometimes (thinking she was going to get the job in the beginning, etc). She got it together by the end, I thought. Some might say it was too much for them to enjoy the movie, but I would hope those who come here and have not seen it will not think “McAdams is annoying” and avoid the movie without giving it a chance. There are probably a lot of people who are going to pass this one up, see it on DVD months later and say “Man, I should’ve gone and seen this in the theaters!” That has happened to me before.

Also, I have worked in the professional world and worked for women who are perkier than McAdams portrayed. The only thing is they are perky in a mean way, running over people just to get ahead. I have known people to actually die because of this.

Think what you will, but IMO McAdams did a good job and “Morning Glory,” while
not the best movie in the world, was worth my time and effort.
