Keiko (Misa Aika) is burdened with the task to make her deceased
father's audience-deprived little TV-station a success, but the problem is
not only that she doesn't have any money (let alone good ideas) but also
that Megumi, head of the rival much more successful Trendy TV, sabotages
her efforts to raise her own TV station every step along the way - which
culminates in poisoning Keiko's new top model weather woman to ruin
Keiko's newly developed and highly anticipated weather show. However, not
willing to give up at this point, Keiko simply assumes the job of weather
woman herself, and when she at the end of the show lifts her skirt to show
her audience her panties, she becomes a big hit. Eventually, a deal is
hammered out between Keiko's station and Megumi's station to have a joint
weather show, with Keiko and Megumi competing over who will present it,
each of the girls putting on their best show to put to the vote by the
audience. Keiko's trademark panty-lifting is of course a hit, but when
Megumi presents her show topless, she seems to have no problems to defeat
Megumi hands-down - until she is plagued by belly cramps and has to shit
right on stage. Turns out her own right-hand-man and spurned lover - who
has also poisoned Keiko's original top model weathergirl - has now
poisoned her to right a wrong ... The original Weather
Woman was one of the funniest and craziest movies ever, a film
that effortlessly blended genres, made fun of everything (but most of all
its own feeble story), and managed to remain pretty erotic along the way. Weather
Woman Returns on the other hand, directed by the original's Tomoaki
Hosoyama, is nothing but a disappointment, telling a weak story in an
uninspired way and being totally let down by a low budget as well as a
lack of original ideas. On top of that, the jokes in this film are all on
the cheap side, and the crazy, devil-may-care genre-hopping attitude of
the first film is totally amiss here. I can't but repeat myself: A
disappointment!
