Seattle TV meteorologist Sylvia (Tricia O'Kelley) has a hysterically funny on-air meltdown over her failed romance with morning news host Dale (Mark Harmon), which promptly kills her broadcast career.
Reduced to waiting on tables, Sylvia moves in with her brother Walt (Ryan Devlin) and begins a friends-with-benefits hookup with his slacker buddy Byron (Patrick J. Adams).
Complications ensue when a video of Sylvia's meltdown goes viral online, and the ratings-hungry TV station offers her the opportunity to co-anchor with Dale, just as Byron realizes he's fallen in love with her.
The movie opens with her meltdown, and that's smart, because the humor in it really draws you in. But it makes you want the rest of the movie to be just as funny. It's not. It's nice, but it's not.
While the rest of "Weather Girl" doesn't quite live up to that awesome opening, it's still terrifically watchable.
That's mostly because O'Kelley, a bit TV sitcom actor, carries the movie as the sassy, pushing-40 weather girl frustrated with the direction her life has taken.
Harmon is the only big name in this indie RomCom, and it's ironic he's the least effective. Even us cis guys found this dude hot back in the day, but he's grown old to look like Dracula. His pale, pinched face and weird pursed lips are distracting and cast doubt over his role as a lothario.
Adams is one to watch, though. He's totally believable and relatable as a lonely Millennial website designer infatuated with his friend's older sister. He's remarkably charming.
The ending is totally predictable, but it's a fun 92 minutes getting there.
