Because of her Morning Glory screenplay, which powers right along in a kind of His Girl Friday fashion and never feels treacly or phony or afflicted with the sound of dozens of other romantic comedies that didn’t quite work, Aline Brosh McKenna is cool again. She hasn’t been forgiven for 27 Dresses, but people, I sense, are willing to let that one go. She also has a cool middle name.
