The latest bait from Alex and Chris Perkins takes a topic that has been around the news ever since Rosie O'Donnell's face returned to television and satirizes it, or just stating the obvious, whatever you prefer."Good Morning, Ladies" is about five women on a morning talk show and their journeys as one of them leaves and is replaced by someone who creates quite a stir. Okay, I'll just get to the point in saying that the bait is retelling the history of "The View" over the past year, but it is also making a great comedy out of it. The casting is exceptional in every way and completely plausible. Here are the comparisons to the real life people, but keep in mind, this is NOT A BIOPIC, IT IS A SATIRE: Blythe Danner-Barbara Walters, Megan Mulally-Rosie O'Donnell, Sigourney Weaver-Meredith Viera, Kristin Chenowith-Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Vanessa Williams-Star Jones-Reynolds, Bette Midler-Joy Behar. Any of those women could be up for best casting choice at the end of the month.
Of the main characters, I believe that Chenowith is the most likely to succeed because she has the baitiest of the roles and is a perfect fit. The final confrontation between her and Mulally's character shows off her range as a steadfast Republican defending the troops while also feeling personally betrayed by her co-panelist.
The choice of Oscar-winner Sofia Coppola as director is excellant because of her ability to capture feminine emotion and make something funny about it. The bait, overall, is extremely accurate in its portrayal of the actual events and deserves much acclaim.
"Good Morning, Ladies" is a contender in the following categories in the main competition:
Best Picture
Best Director-Sofia Coppola
Best Original Screenplay
Best Actress-Megan Mulally
Best Supporting Actress-Kristin Chenowith, Bette Midler, Sigourney Weaver, Vanessa Williams
