Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Steineded How sad is this?
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
StreamingInsight OK, there you are, streaming away on Netflix, and you have watched all of your top want-to-see-list movies - and now you are searching for something else that catches your eye. Been there, did that...and then I clicked on the little Romantic Comedy "Weather Girl", staring an actress I personally never really noticed before. And WOW! Great job Tricia O'Kelley! I really like it when the actors can interact so seamlessly that it feels natural and spontaneous - instead of some rehearsed lines said in a movie. Weather Girl's cast pulled this off perfectly. Watching and listening to O'Kelley and her cast-mates witty comebacks and banter is what really made this movie enjoyable for me. I find myself wanting to watch it again... It would be easy to classify this as another boy-meets-girl/date-night chick-flick, but I found it to be a well acted, clever & entertaining movie. Sit back and watch it.
napierslogs Tricia O'Kelley is our sassy weather girl, Sylvia, except she insists she's not sassy, she just has boyfriend problems and now employment problems giving way to the numerous emotional issues which our heroine explores in this romantic comedy.Sylvia is a fantastic romantic comedy heroine. Sure, she's slightly desperate for a boyfriend but when her job opportunities disappear, she does the responsible thing and finds a temporary solution, as a waitress. She retains just enough optimism peeking out of the many hysterical breakdowns, that watching her is a joyful experience. We have two leading men, both extremely attractive and even better, their many moments of humour are priceless. Walt (Ryan Devlin) is Sylvia's younger brother and he puts up with all her neuroses because of brotherly love. Byron (Patrick J. Adams) is Walt's best friend, he also puts up with Sylvia's many neuroses, but out of a more carnal love.This film succeeds because young career women can relate to Sylvia's problems unlike the similar "Morning Glory" (2010), and every actor aptly delivers the comedy (unlike most big budget comedies). It's well written and knows its genre well playing up most of the formulaic elements on purpose but without any of the hackneyed details. "Weather Girl" is definitely a great romantic comedy because it's absolutely hilarious from beginning to end with just a hint of self-awareness.
maitreya21 First of all the cast and the story are good but the acting is awful. I watch these people in Two and A Half Men & The New Adventures of Old Christine and they're hilarious in these series. But they're just the series' actors i think. This movie is just like a, one season TV-series in 1.5 hours.Please stay away the movies! You're funny but not movie actors. This movie would be a great romantic-comedy in right hands. With real Hollywood stars i mean. And by the way, the sex scene was really bad and unsuccessful. Five stars for the cast and the story. Not for the movie.
larry-411 I attended a screening of Blayne Weaver's "Weather Girl" at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival. It had premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in January and was one of those "buzz films" here.Tricia O'Kelley stars a Seattle morning show's "sassy weather girl" who has an over-the-top, painfully funny on-air meltdown over her cheating boyfriend, the show's despicable co-anchor (the always-reliable Mark Harmon, "NCIS'" Agent Gibbs). Out of work, out of love, and homeless, she needs to pick up the pieces and start a new life. That begins with a knock on the door of her brother Walt's bachelor apartment (Ryan Devlin), where his best friend Byron (Patrick J. Adams) seems to have taken up permanent residence. Jon Cryer, Jane Lynch, and Blair Underwood are among other notables in the cast.Although it's an indie, "Weather Girl" has the polished look of a Hollywood movie with top quality production values and cinematography that takes full advantage of its breathtaking Seattle location. But this is clearly a character-driven film where all the protagonists have their flaws and the villains simply cannot redeem themselves. There is a great deal of visual humor -- sight gags abound and facial expressions often are the jokes in themselves. The plot is somewhat formulaic, though, and we know where this is going right from the start. But even though we've seen this story before it is still entertaining and occasionally laugh out loud funny.Writer/director Blayne Weaver, cast, and crew were present for a hilarious Q&A after the screening which rivaled the comedy in the movie.Just a note: the picture was annoyingly dark. Generally I'd attribute this to poor projection on the part of the theater or a bad print (or digital copy) before I'd blame the post-production team. It definitely took away from my enjoyment of the film and I hope that's not the way the public will see it in the future.
