Sylvia (Tricia O'Kelley) was a notable fixture on Seattle's most popular morning television program before she discovered that her boyfriend, Dale (Harmon), the show's anchor, was cheating on her with his co-host, Sherry (Kaitlin Olson). Her career in television implodes in just the time it takes to have an on-air meltdown, and Sylvia is forced to move in with her slacker brother, Walt (Ryan Devlin), while she tries to get back on her feet. Now Sylvia is 35, unemployed, and single. No one will hire her for fear that she may flip out on a moment's notice, but Walt's best friend, Byron (Patrick J. Adams), sees something in Sylvia that no one else seems to notice. Now, as Walt attempts to show Sylvia that there's more to life than fame and fortune, the woman whose life has just fallen apart wages a valiant effort to finally get over herself and discover the secret to living a more meaningful life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Glenn Whipp, Chicago Tribune
Weather Girl coasts on the charms of its ensemble, which includes brief, funny turns from Jane Lynch and Jon Cryer.
-
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
Increasingly formulaic plotting clouds an otherwise brisk rom-com.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
An affable yet conventional romantic comedy...
-
Mike Scott, Times-Picayune
Mild with a chance of chuckles, it's well-cast, well-acted and well-produced. It's just that it would make a far better sitcom than a feature film.
-
Mark Keizer, Boxoffice Magazine
The broad performances, standard plotting and mild smiles recall a pleasantly predictable cable movie.
