Movie Reviews of Weather Woman
Movie Review: Naughty 'n' saucy Japanese comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars
WEATHERWOMAN ("Otenki-oneesan") is a cult movie in the best sense of the word. A box office smash in it's native Japan, and filled with outlandish characters, the film is based on the popular 'Manga' comic of the same title.
Into the dog-eat-dog world of TV journalism comes the ballsy and forthright Keiko (played by Kei Mizutani) . Determined to become the ultimate weather woman, she turns a struggling news programme into the hottest timeslot of the evening with her trademark panty-flash. But Keiko's day in the sun could be short-lived when beautiful rival Kaori (Yasuyo Shirashima) decides to replace her as the supreme weatherwoman. There's nothing else for it; Keiko must go into a gruelling training regime and challenge Kaori in a match of strength and wits. Prepare for the ultimate showdown!...
While the subject matter is a little racy, the movie as a whole is quite tame (at least in comparision with the subsequent sequel, "Weatherwoman Returns", which amped the 'raunch' factor right off the scale). Mizutani and Shirashima lead a strong cast and deliver solid performances.
The DVD includes the English-dubbed version of the film, plus bonus DVD-ROM components where you can access actor/director interviews, and picture galleries. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
Summary of Weather Woman
In the cut-throat world of TV broadcasting, you have to be willing to show it all. When saucy Keiko becomes the weather woman, she creates a media frenzy by flashing her underwear to the entire watching world! Soon everyone is tuning in to see wht their favorite weather woman will do next.Art House & International DVD Video
