The WEATHER GIRL is partly funny, though with MORNING GLORY in theaters recently, some of WEATHER GIRL's thunder has been stolen. Let's face it, Mark Harmon is no Harrison Ford. But with slightly different plots, some people may find it possible to sit through both of these TV mini-soaps without snoring in either. Tricia O'Kelley seems to have a look which one could picture as a small-market morning weather woman, and Mark Harmon certainly comes off as smarmy enough to be her morning anchor counterpart.With "Behind the Scenes," "Deleted Scenes," and "Outtakes" DVD features, the packing for this movie is not as bare bones as some low-budget home movie editions tend to be. Perhaps the disc bonus highlight comes during the "outtakes," when Harmon says something about being Special Agent Gibbs, a reference to his role on the CBS hit police procedural, NCIS.In rating this movie, the key question is whether the cougar match-up between Tricia O'Kelley's title character, "weather girl" Sylvia Miller, 35, and her little brother's best friend, Byron, 29 (played by Patrick J. Adams) works for you. If you can picture this as a poor man's version of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, you may see WEATHER GIRL as being sunny side up.

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.

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.

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.
