lighthearted and inspiring

It's another typical New York City-style movie. I like this tone, it's lighthearted and life-like.
The heroine Becky belongs to the kind of workaholic girl who has dreams and passion, which is what modern urbanites lack. She brought a burst of momentum to a show group that was on the verge of disbanding, and finally she was favored by the coveted big column.
This film is more like the ultimate confrontation between Mike and her, a former anchor with an extremely dazzling and glorious past, and a fledgling little girl with "bangs" who loves journalism. I think their main conflict is Mike's inability to accept the fact that is outdated, unwilling to make compromises and changes, always covering up his problems with halo and stubbornness. And Becky completely represents the new force, offending Mike's insistence with a slap in the face.
A very sweet ending is that Mike and Becky learn from each other, bringing a new change to the news program, and the program team has also become a big family, everyone put down their prejudices and work in a relaxed and harmonious way.
I really like the outfit Becky wore to the "Today" interview. It really looks very comfortable, formal yet gentle, foreign yet sweet.
In addition, Mike turned out to be played by Harrison Ford, wow, why is it so familiar, the old handsome guy is fat.
