If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

We found this one on Netflix streaming movies. Although the theme has been well explored over the years the dialog and acting are very fresh and more interesting than most of this genre.Tricia O'Kelley, a TV series veteran actress, is weather girl Sylvia at a Seattle TV station. It is a menial job for a well-educated woman, but she often is the butt of references by the morning talk show "talent." In a really good role for him, Mark Harmon is the main talent, Dale, and he seems to have affairs with every woman in reach, including Sylvia. But now their relationship is on the rocks, and Sylvia comes to work sad and tearful. But she decides to resign by going on-air and, instead of giving the scripted weather cast, she goes off on a tirade against Dale. She leaves, but the audience likes what they saw and rating go up. This eventually leads to their wanting her to return.In the meantime Sylvia, broke with no job, crashes with her 25-ish younger brother, Ryan Devlin, also a TV veteran, as Walt. This provides for some very funny sibling interactions. Adding to the humor is Patrick J. Adams, another TV veteran, as Byron, the 25-ish cross-the-hall neighbor and good friend of Walt's who visits every day to use Walt's computer to do his online job. Byron is unashamedly smitten with Sylvia, 10 years his senior, and spends much of the movie's running time trying to convince her that they have an ideal situation for dating without any attachment.We enjoyed it.

I have often wondered what a movie peppered with sitcom stars (who work WAY harder than "serious" ones) would be like. Now I know. It's GREAT!Containing stars from series like "Two And A Half Men" and "The New Adventures Of Old Christine" (and starring one of the snobby duo from the latter) this movie is better acted than most "rom-coms" that inhabit mainstream cinema today.And while any movie that is written and directed by the same person should ring alarm bells - there are exceptions. And "Weather Girl" is definitely one of them.It is a damn shame this movie got so little exposure in the theatres - but if it pops up on telly or you see it down at your local video-hire shop, check it out.Okay, it's no "When Harry Met Sally" - but it will entertain you WAY more than a lot of the tosh that masquerades as cinematic entertainment these days.

In the studio of a morning show in Seattle, the entire crew is looking for their sassy weather girl, Sylvia (Tricia O'Kelley). She appears to be AWOL but, suddenly, she makes it to the stage just seconds before air time. The program's male host, Dale (Mark Harmon) begins the day's news, with his fake sunny smile and styled hair. But, when Sylvia is called upon to give the first weather report, she stirs up a tornado of tabloid bombshells. First, she relates that, against her better judgment, she fell for Dale and moved in with him two years ago. Then, she holds up the pair of woman's underpants that she found in their condo, the pair that doesn't belong to her, Syl. Lastly, she gives a brief summary of Dale's lack of prowess in the bedroom and she whirls out of the studio, ditching her job. Whew! Now, that's entertainment! Knowing of no other place to go, she heads for her brother's messy apartment and begs him to let her bunk while she figures out her next move. He, Walter (Ryan Devlin), agrees. But, soon a good-looking neighbor, Byron (Patrick J. Adams) pops in and startles Sylvia during breakfast. He says he is Walter's best friend and a website builder who is using Walt's computer to continue his work, due to the crash of his own hardware. Although Bryon is somewhat younger than Sylvia, he becomes interested in her. But, Sylvia, who has become a pariah in the local television world and reluctantly accepts a job as a waitress to pay bills, initially resists his flirtations. And, wait, Dale may want her back. Will dear Sylvia make a new life for herself, a life that includes romance? This reviewer's forecast is that most folks will enjoy this delightful but slightly risqué romcom. The script is very clever and funny while the cast does an admirable job, too. Harmon courageously makes an insipid beast of himself while Adams is a charming and handsome leading man. O'Kelley, though not model beautiful, is also very wonderful as the weather girl. Devlin is likewise touching and comical as the brother. In a hilarious cameo, Jon Cryer elicits a bellyful of laughs but Blair Underwood, regrettably, has very little to do. The rest of the cast is fine. There is not much scenery, just sets and apartment rooms, so there is no real view of Seattle but the costumes are nice and the direction is deft and fast-paced. Do you like romantic comedies with a slightly different feel? Then, this one is for you, for it delivers laughs and heartfelt sighs at all the right moments.

OK, romantic comedies usually turn me off, but I really liked this movie.It's loaded with guest appearances that come fast and furious; like Jane Lynch as a hysterically contemptuous restaurant manager; Jon Cryer as as creepy accountant set-up date; Blair Underwood as the frantic Producer; Alex Kapp Hunter and Marin Hinkle as devoted but misguided friends, but the real magic to this indie film is the performances of the title character, "sassy weather girl" Sylvia (the stunning Tricia O'Kelley), her perpetually dismayed but faithful brother Walt (Ryan Devlin), and his semi-slacker house mate Byron (Patrick J. Davis).Writer/director Blayne Weaver (how could Jon "Duckie" Cryer keep a straight face throughout his scenes?) actually makes a romantic comedy believable and thoroughly watchable, which is quite a feat.I loved the set design, in particular Walt's apartment, which resembles a theme park for yet-to-be-developed young adults (I can relate)...but someone was totally on by including a Seaweed poster, a totally cool Seattle band, who I'm sure were delighted to be in the prop! Tricia O'Kelley was totally lovable and played her character well. Her character straddled two worlds that were quite separate and totally different, and her involvement with her brother Walt and his buddy Byron were very believable and not too over-the-top.My favorite scene is the one in which Sylvia comes home to her brother's apartment after a particularly distressing day, and upon seeing Walt and Byron involved in a video game, simply takes her waitresses' uniform off and waltzes over to Byron's apartment across the hall in her underwear and boots. Byron, being a 29-year-old guy, immediately follows.
