Weather Girl (2009)
7/10
Forecast says: "Partly Sunny"

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.
