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.

Dusty If I had been forced to stop watching this at around the half hour point I think I would give this movie 9 stars just for the comic moments, the plot build up and the characters. It just doesn't hold to the end though and the film actually manages to get quite bleak and depressing before going into an awful slow poignant moment where the camera definitely lingers on the stars, in close up longer than they can act for (I was also massively put off by the fact that in this scene she reminded me of the actress from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding").Did one person write the first half and someone else the second, or did they just get bored? Such a waste of potential.

Amy Adler 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.

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.
