I gave this film a 7/10. Having listened to the recordings of the actual 'Breakfast In Hollywood' 1940's radio shows, this film does capture a realistic essence of the live recordings of the shows which I do recommend finding online. It's been a while since I heard them, but this film encapsulates the charm that Tom Breneman had as a radio host.
It shows how in the '40s radio played such a big role in people's lives and shows a snapshot, albeit 'Hollywoodised' of the world just before the advent of television.
As others have mentioned, it has a 'It's A Wonderful Life' feel to it, with a similair simplicity, and a helpful reflection of 1940's Hollywood.
