“OK, romantic comedies usually turn me off, but I really liked this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s loaded with guest appearances that come fast and furious; like Jane Lynch as a hysterically contemptuous restaurant manager; Jon Cryer as as creepy accountant set-up date; Blair Underwood as the frantic Producer; Alex Kapp Hunter and Marin Hinkle as devoted but misguided friends, but the real magic to this indie film is the performances of the title character, u0026quot;sassy weather girlu0026quot; Sylvia (the stunning Tricia Ou0026#39;Kelley), her perpetually dismayed but faithful brother Walt (Ryan Devlin), and his semi-slacker house mate Byron (Patrick J. Davis).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWriter/director Blayne Weaver (how could Jon u0026quot;Duckieu0026quot; Cryer keep a straight face throughout his scenes?) actually makes a romantic comedy believable and thoroughly watchable, which is quite a feat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI loved the set design, in particular Waltu0026#39;s apartment, which resembles a theme park for yet-to-be-developed young adults (I can relate)…but someone was totally on by including a Seaweed poster, a totally cool Seattle band, who Iu0026#39;m sure were delighted to be in the prop! Tricia Ou0026#39;Kelley was totally lovable and played her character well. Her character straddled two worlds that were quite separate and totally different, and her involvement with her brother Walt and his buddy Byron were very believable and not too over-the-top.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy favorite scene is the one in which Sylvia comes home to her brotheru0026#39;s apartment after a particularly distressing day, and upon seeing Walt and Byron involved in a video game, simply takes her waitressesu0026#39; uniform off and waltzes over to Byronu0026#39;s apartment across the hall in her underwear and boots. Byron, being a 29-year-old guy, immediately follows.”
