It's a totally simple, little and very uncomplicated rom-com... and it works for several reasons, and the main one is Tricia O'Kelley. Had never come across any of her work before, yet she is the lead that holds this production together, and gives it true merit. There are no surprises, and the ending is telegraphed right from the beginning.. but because of her thoroughly subtle and alluring performance, you remain focused till the very end. There are lots of big names and expensive budgets that try and accomplish similar results... but this special little film is proof that it's not necessary to spend lots of money to produce an enjoyable movie experience.

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.

OK, there you are, streaming away on Netflix, and you have watched all of your top want-to-see-list movies - and now you are searching for something else that catches your eye. Been there, did that...and then I clicked on the little Romantic Comedy "Weather Girl", staring an actress I personally never really noticed before. And WOW! Great job Tricia O'Kelley! I really like it when the actors can interact so seamlessly that it feels natural and spontaneous - instead of some rehearsed lines said in a movie. Weather Girl's cast pulled this off perfectly. Watching and listening to O'Kelley and her cast-mates witty comebacks and banter is what really made this movie enjoyable for me. I find myself wanting to watch it again... It would be easy to classify this as another boy-meets-girl/date-night chick-flick, but I found it to be a well acted, clever & entertaining movie. Sit back and watch it.

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.
