Sex Weather

I have to agree with a lot that's been stated so far about this movie... The one that was a serious thumbs-down review I thought was overly critical! I thought the writing the acting and everything that went into this film was really quite enjoyable to watch!

Seriously? Who writes this stuff? I would be ashamed to have my name associated with this movie. It just goes to show hard up these actors and directors etc are for a buck. Was it really worth it for you? Negativity is worth as much as good fortune !

I don't understand why the low scoring. This is a good movie in my opinion, with great acting, and an interesting story about connecting with people in our times.

So I've found this movie, saw the trailer and was excited about it. It seemed like the movie I've been looking for a long time. Then I decided to read User's review beforehand (just to be sure) and almost decided not to watch it.

first of all, there are some flaws, yes but to me it doesn't deserve this kind of rating (like really ? worst than street fighter ?) at all. I get that it wouldn't touch everyone the way it touched me but it's not a bad film.

Two people in a bed for a day, giving a shot at complete honesty, and falling in love. the story is really good, I like it and wanted to see a movie like that for a long time, it reminds me of Two nights stand a bit (if you liked it give it a shot).

The moviemaking is not bad either, as I said not flawless (there is this weird 'let's take a look at the outside so we can fast-forward'), but pretty good. loved the dialogues, actors are good, not that much nudity even though they're naked during the whole movie, nor sex, at least not explicit.

Judging by the synopsis and the DVD cover art, you may be inclined (as I was) to think that this is just a cheap sexy film. To my surprise, that was not the case at all.

Much like the Spanish language movie "En la Cama", Sex Weather is a romantic gesture of two souls connecting by spending the day together and talking (okay, they do have sex as well). But what I really liked was that the dialogue was quite fun throughout. In the end, Sex Weather ended up being quite a romantic film.

For a movie that mainly only features two characters for the entire runtime, Al'Jaleel McGhee and Amber Stonebraker do a fine job and the growing chemistry between the two is absolutely well portrayed. It reminds of that whimsical time at the start of a relationship where one could just talk all day and hang on to each other's every word.

Other points of note are that Sydney and Darrel are an interracial couple, which still isn't exactly the norm when it comes to cookie-cutter romantic movies, especially the ones that come out of Hollywood. I mean it's always a Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant or a Mathew Mcconaughey and Kate Hudson - but never a Daniel Kaluuya and Scarlett Johansson because that's waaaaay too risky. So this was a nice little change up.

It also doesn't hurt that Amber Stonebraker looks a lot like Katy Perry in this movie.

Overall, Sex Weather was way better than I expected, and I could have actually watched this with my partner on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
