Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Naughty 'n' saucy Japanese comedy!
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Oh Kei!!!
Like all Japanese softporn movies Weather Woman is interesting from the standpoint of allowing us to exam a foreign culture and I'm sure there are many culturally pertinent things in the movie we Americans will never understand but that's what makes it such a trip.

Rating: - ok people liked it but 1 thing you 4got to mention
yeah all these reviews say how good this collection is but you people did not mention the 2nd movie is not in english.
Rating:  - Satire without cynicism
This is a great little film with lots of interesting (and hilarious and erotic) twists and turns. I'm always a little put off when I hear "satire", but this is satire that never desends into cynicism . The film makers obviously enjoyed making this. I also highly recommend the sequel, "Weather Woman Returns", which is just as good.
