Weather Girl
Partly cloudy with 90% chance of meltdown.
Succumbing to the stresses of work and romance, a Seattle morning weather anchor (Tricia O' Kelley) melts down live on-air. Closing in on forty, she is now unemployed, lacks career prospects, and must cope with her cheating boyfriend (Mark Harmon) - a devilishly handsome newscaster. Weather Girl is a slice of life comedy about reckoning the difference between growing old and growing up.

Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end with a hint of self-awareness - napierslogs
Tricia O'Kelley is our sassy weather girl, Sylvie, 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.
Sylvie 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 Sylvie'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 Sylvie's many neuroses, but out of a more carnal love.
This film succeeds because young career women can relate to Sylvie'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.

I really enjoyed a number of the characters and circumstances in this film. Much of the comedy and the character was demonstrated in the unending parade of conflicts that make up the plot. If you were hoping for a light RomCom, look elsewhere. If you want to see a movie that isn't yet another forgettable example of the genre, it might be worth a go. Personally, I don't enjoy watching people squirm their way through arguments, so I tolerated the movie rather than enjoying it. Nonetheless, I found the movie memorable and engaging. I will not quickly forget the plot or the characters.Great little Indie film--I was surprised! - 487Ferg
I have to disagree with the reviews here saying this film was drab and unfunny. I was so taken aback by this little Indie film, because of the great script (very funny) and commendable acting by relative unknowns (to me anyway). For a change I actually cared about the main charcters in this movie. No nasties and vile reality type behaviour, just decent people trying to make it work. I would totally watch this again. It may not win any awards, but it sure left me in a good mood!
