“Weather Girl” is a film that I have been personal looking forward to, every since posting the trailer and seeing it on our youtube page back in June. Thankfully, this romantic comedy was worth that wait.
The film is about a Seattle weather girl (Tricia O’Kelly), who’s fired after an on-air incident with her cheating boyfriend (Mark Harmon). Things in her life begin to go downhill, as she is jobless and forced to move in with her younger brother. While stuck there and coping with the fact that her love life came crashing down, she meets one of her brother’s friends (Patrick J. Adams), who offers himself, as a rebound to her past relationship. Can she respond to all the things that are happening in life, in this romantic comedy. The film also co-stars Jane Lynch (“Glee”, “Best in Show”), Kaitlin Olson, Ryan Devlin, Jon Cryer (“Two and a Half Men”) and Blair Underwood (“L.A. Law”).
“Weather Girl” is very fun and entertaining film from actor/director, Blake Weaver. His direction was very solid from start to finish. One of the things that made it good was the way he does a very good job directing the performances. The performances make this film move at a very good pace, as you’re not bored or waiting for something to happen. Weaver makes the performances stand out from with each other. By doing that, it makes the delivery of the humor funny and it also makes the actors that are playing these parts develop a chemistry that needed for a romantic comedy to succeed.
Speaking of the performances, they were very good. Tricia O Kelly was very good, in the lead role. I liked how she does a very good job in making her character, very entertaining. She puts the effort into making her character likable to the point that I cared about this story and everything that was happening. She is not alone here, as there are also a couple of good supporting performances from Mark Harmon, as the womanizing lead anchor of a morning television show and Patrick J Adams, as her brother’s best friend that wants to be in an romantic relationship with Kelly’s character.
Weaver’s screenplay was also very effective. One of the things that make it effective, the screenplay had the ability to balance the character’s struggles with her career while looking for true love. By giving the main character a couple of conflicts, it makes the character interesting, so that you’re interested in the story. Another thing that make it effective, the humor works very well with the material. The humor was timed perfectly, because without it this film becomes boring. Weaver also does a good job creating interesting supporting characters around the main character. Those characters really help the movement of the plot, while bringing humor that makes sense.
“Weather Girl” is a fun little film that you should definitely seek out at your video store. It’s a funny romantic comedy that will definitely keep your interest while in the comfort of your love one.
