Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

TxMike 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.

charlytully 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.

uncool926-1 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.

jmportia I just saw this movie at a screening in Sonoma and was wonderfully surprised. I might be a bit biased because I am a fan of romantic comedies and movies in general, but this was a good movie. At times, the movie itself seems to be poking fun at romantic comedies with how it handles some situations and some of the lines.The tag/plot from the main IMDb page gives a great overview of the plot: A Seattle weather girl freaks out on-air over her cheating boyfriend, the morning show anchor, and moves in with her little brother. This does not give the movie away. The depth of the story is not usually found in romantic comedies. There is more to this movie than girl meets boy. All of the casting is wonderful. The only issue I had was with Byron and Walt, for some reason I thought the actors should have been switched. By the end of the movie I disregarded this because both of them develop into their roles.This is one of those movies that is great if you are a movie lover (and some TV) because there are so many great actors in it. Almost every scene there is another actor/actress where you think to yourself 'where have I seen them before?' or 'oh, I love them'. I do have to agree with another reviewer on here that the movie is a little dark, not film noir dark but actually screen dark. I am guessing that is the theater I saw it in (a classic old one that is not set up for digital projection). I gave it a 9/10 because I have only seen it once. I reserve 10/10 for after the second viewing, if I still feel the same way about it it gets another star.
