Weather Woman No Flasher in the Pan, December 30, 1999
This is a good, fun movie about a weather report woman who becomes an overnight sensation and boosts the station's ratings through the roof when, as a one-night substitute "o-tenki o-neesan" (weather woman) she flashes her panties at the end of the report. She becomes the usual weather woman, each night flashing her panties and raising ratings around the nation. The previous woman tries through devious means to get her job back, but is relegated instead to host "Hentai-san, konnichiwa!" (Hello, Perverts), and after an unfortunate enema experience, becomes the weather woman's personal maid. The station owner's daughter returns from (as she keeps reminding us) Paris, replete with an ever-present loaf of French bread, and turns the tables, becoming the new weather woman, leading to a climactic showdown. This movie has probably the finest songs and choreography ever done for a Japanese movie on the theme of meteorology. Add to that copious panty shots, female 'onani', and a welcomely gratuitous maid's soap-tongue bath, and you have a winner. Highly fun, amusing, satirical, and sexy, this is worth a watch. It is subtitled, which is as it should be. There is also an anime version, not quite the equal of this.

Weather Woman and Weather Woman Returns., January 21, 2003
This review is from: Weather Woman DVD Collection (DVD)
Weather Woman: The first DVD is great. Lots of humor, nudity, cussing, some violence and not a serious bone in its body. You'll laugh, you'll laugh so hard that you WILL cry. Weird, sexy and Kei Mizutani who knows what her character needs AND what her fans want. I give it five stars! Weather Woman Returns: The second movie has a slightly more serious plot, slightly more nudity (and sex), no violence and some parts that are not funny - I think they worked TOO hard on trying to make sense. Misa Aika is pretty and does swim about nude a lot, but she's no Kei Mizutani. I didn't laugh as much. I give it three stars. I would suggest getting Weather Woman by itself OR getting this collection if you can get it for less (in other words - used). Not much in the way of normal extras on the DVDs, but they also have DVD-ROMS features in the form of art, interviews and comics.

Weather Woman is a Cult Classic!, April 20, 2000
By A Customer
I first learned about Weather Woman from an amazed friend, who finally loaned me his copy. I watched it with a bunch of friends (both male and female) one Friday night - the reaction was awesome! Nobody could believe that we hadn't already heard about this movie; it is absolutely one of the most over-the-top, funny, parodies of the media industry I've ever seen. It also parodies Japanese B movies in the anime and science fiction genres and pokes fun at society itself. Probably the best "frat house" or "cult" movie I've ever seen - and I've already seen it about five times, now! Kei Mizutani (the Weather Woman) is sexy, funny, and talented to boot! Highly recommended by all who have it seen it with me to date - about 20 viewers so far loved it. Probably an R-rating if the MPAA rated it.
