Trial By Trailer: Young Weather

Posted on December 16, 2024January 21, 2025 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Trial By Trailer: Young Weather

Trial By Trailer: Young Weather is literally a remake of The F Word: set in Toronto…the dressing room scene, the engaged girl…what are we doing here?

Why does this movie exist?! This is so gross. This is so cheap. This is so bad.

Did you watch that sucky trailer?

Okay here is The F Word trailer…the movie came out in 2015:

See? Duplicates.

Written by Elan Mastai (I suggest you check out his sci-fi time travel novel All Our Wrong Todays) The F Word stars Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Mackenzie Davis and a few other faces you’ll know.

The F Word is of course “friendship.” Turns out Harry Potter found a woman who is magic but she’s got a boyfriend. So do you become friends with her or…what?

The scene in which Wallace and Chantry skinny dip together was filmed at the Scarborough Bluffs (not far from where I live!). Toronto actually plays itself in this movie; as a city Toronto doesn’t have a distinct film mythology such as LA, NYC or even Chicago. Lots going for The F Word. (Might still be streaming on CBC Gem.)

However, I can’t honestly say anything good or positive about Young Weather.


Sammy Verdict: Skip this; watch The F Word instead. Hard Pass.
