Sassy Seattle local TV weather girl Sylvia (Tricia O'Kelley) goes crazy on the air over womanizing anchorman Dale (Mark Harmon) cheating on her with co-anchor Sherry (Kaitlin Olson). She has to restart her life while staying with brother Walt (Ryan Devlin) and his intrusive flirty neighbor friend Byron (Patrick J. Adams).This is basically a single gal TV sitcom in movie form. For certain circles and maybe for most people, this is damning rebuke. I don't mind a single gal TV sitcom. It's a staple for a reason. The main thing for me is that I like Tricia O'Kelley. She has mostly been the sidekick or the mean girl. She deserves to play the lead and Patrick J. Adams is also very charming. It's a comfortable TV show in movie form.

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.

For me this movie was a 6ish. The acting is good but not great although the biggest letdown is the script. If you've seen a few of these before you know what is going to happen at least half an hour earlier.Don't mean to sound rude but Tricia O'Kelley is a 41 year old actress playing a 35 year old woman. You kind of feel the age difference between her and the 28 year old Patrick J. Adams getting in the way of their acting. Another so-so performance comes from Mark Harmon. He is very stiff and lifeless and I don't think that was intentional.Would I pay money to see this: no. Would I recommend this to couple friends: yes. Its a no-nonsense movie easy going and without side effects. Anyone looking for art and a cathartic experience will be very disappointed.

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.
