Description
Who's the guy lying next to her? How did they meet? All Alex knows is that he's as dead as a toe-tagged John Doe. "He had a heart attack?" Alex's ex asks over the phone. "From a knife in the chest," she retorts. Two-time Academy Award winner Jane Fonda earned her seventh Oscar nomination* as Alex, an alcoholic has-been actress cast in the real-life role of Suspect #1. Panicked at facing the police, Alex runs for it - right into the battered convertible of a washed-up former cop (Jeff Bridges). Their uneasy alliance draws them nearer each other and closer to the startling truth behind the murder. Director Sidney Lumet (The Verdict) draws strong performances from his leads and an ensemble that includes Raul Julia and Kathy Bates. The murder happened the night before. But the real mystery begins The Morning After.

Two Star's Removed for flippent stupid Racial Insensity to blacks, jews, italians you name it!.......2007-06-30

Given I love only three Jane Fonda Movies, Barbarella, China Syndrome and now The Morning After, this one seems the best of the three. Well sort of. Barbarella can not be beat when you are fater some weird over the top fun. Few movies can match Barbarella in its over the top goofyness. China Syndrome was well acted and pretty good all around. The Morning After has a "Funky 70's" burn out sort of feel to it. I like Morning after because I started out hating both characters and ended up so happy they both got together.

I like in this movie the sappy icky sweet ending one other reviewer seems to dislike. I like a movie that ends happily so you can imaging the two characters you have spent an hour investing in leave you with a hollywood happy ending pay off. The movies I hate are those that build the viewer up to hoping two partners or partner and side kick start building a life together. I hate the so called sophisticated endings more common in the newer generation of movies where the credits start rolling and the silly movie seems to have no resolution. Whats worse is many movies in so stupidly now its makes all the time you spend watching seem wasted.

This movie has a predictable ending but thats what makes it awesome to me. This movie was done right. I saw The Morning After on Chiller which repeats its movies to death so if you want to preview Morning After watch Chiller its bound to be on a couple dozen times in the near future.

Simply The Best: 5 Stars to Jane Fonda.......2007-06-01

This movie once again proves that Jane Fonda is simply the best actress alive today. She will always be remembered in the same way Bette Davis or Katherine Hepburn is remembered. Her performance here is stunning, and there is no doubt that she is the best thing about this film. I don't think Jane Fonda is capable of giving a bad performance, although her choices of film roles is sometimes questionable. Please Jane, try to find a role you can sink your acting teeth into like The Morning After, Klute, They Shoot Horses Don't They, and Coming Home. You were great in Monster-In-Law and Georgia Rule, but those movies are far behind your golden talent. Buy and watch The Morning After if you want to see how a classic actress can dominate the screen in every scene. Again, Jane Fonda is simply the best!

A real treat.......2007-03-20

Really impressed with Jane Fonda's portrayal of an over-the-hill actress. She is certainly not afraid to show a not always glamorous role, but the chemistry between her and Jeff Bridges is amazing.

too long absent from the screen.......2006-03-02

miss fonda returned last year to the movie screen with the monster-in-law film but with films like the morning after to her resume these are the performances we miss by a great actress.
here she shows a raw and yet vulnerable side as an alcholic actress seeking one last shot at fame and at love and in the process of achieving both is set up as a murderess. there are many great scenes of miss fonda in the movie, but the one that stands out is her walking a deserted street in LA on a morning after. you have been away too long miss fonda your fans are waiting for a return

Not a 5 Star but very enjoyable.......2005-10-29

I have been waiting for this to come on DVD. Jane Fonda wakes up one morning next to a dead guy...rest of the movie Jeff Bridges helps her figure out " who done it ".
