"All of the fun of the fair with Dorothy pinged into space - this time to deliver hundreds of micro sensors and not a single sugary song in sight. A triumph of popcorn reality-entertainment."

"The next time the wind gets up, remind me to strap myself down so that I do not get pinged into space by those naughty twisters... I have never been much of a fan of bondage but, you know, they may have a point after all.. Just in case, take me to World of leather at once!"

"A triumph of honest to goodness go getters against corporate financed scientists. The little guy wins in the end, what more could you hope for?"

"Is that Doctor Ruth's daughter in this movie? A triumph of sex counseling in bad weather conditions."

"I am so glad that nice aunt was not pinged into that tornado. How unlucky to introduce her into the story and within just thirty minutes her house has been destroyed? How likely is that?"

"A veritable cornucopia of naughty weather. The tornado representing the metaphor of life, with which we are forced to wrestle, lest our dreams are thrown all over the place by that bitch of fate! A triumph, then, that our heroes manage to complete their tasks in spite of, and also, because of, the tornado... Wunderbarr, and the flying cow isn't bad either."

"So, what is exactly wrong with corporate sponsored scientists? If they get a nice living out of duping stupid, wealthy, shareholders, who's the loser here?"

A love story with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton playing two scientists in love, but who battle with each other...

They aim to make the world a safer place by unlocking the secrets of tornadoes by releasing hundreds of sensors into one and then processing the data. To do this they have to get close enough to put the sensors in... Their contraption is called Dorothy.

This is dangerous stuff and they have a few scrapes, including one in which they watch a cow being lifted in the air.

In spite of competition from a scientist with the same design for Dorothy, but with corporate sponsorship, our heroes basic grasp of their subject enables them to dodge the tornadoes better and manage to release Dorothy's sensors and then evade the ensuing damage.

This they do and apparently, after a dodgy moment or two, look set to live happily together ever after.

"When you said you chased tornadoes I always thought that was a metaphor."

Any heavy snack not likely to blow away in the wind. Avoid chips and popcorn, accept nothing lighter than chicken nuggets.

Sit in the center of the house if you are watching on home cinema systems and do not have the volume up too high.

My man loves me, he just needed poor weather conditions to realize it.

An all musical version of this movie could add another dimension to the special effects; at times the weather conditions drown out any music, this is a shame.

Any more weather, however, could lead to messy weather overkill; heavy rain and heavy wind together are not pleasant to watch on the big screen.

A few gratuitous moments of face sucking, which are mostly well handled.

No bedroom romping, or X-rated fetish weather sex about which we have read a little before writing this review.

This is a dog movie. The themes of loyalty and watching on helplessly as the world is torn to sheds around you is typical doggie fodder.

Cats will like the 'dingly-bells' which tell of a hurricane about to come this way, but little else. Make sure there is enough milk in their bowl or they could raid the fridge.

Non-flying birds will require counseling after this movie (as they are fully aware they would be as useful as a brick in a tornado), although flying birds have been trained for these conditions and will squawk in delight at times (flying in a twister is a bird equivalent to surfing in the sea).

A genuine, albeit small, piece broken off the roof following the last time there was a hurricane in these parts.

No, its a PG. A disappointing effort all round. A few 'shits' but that's about as fruity as it gets.

Yes. Beware!

Includes: Computer simulations showing animated sensors swirling upwards into the hurricane. (This must be through radio waves. How good was your TV reception the last time you were in a tornado path? Thought so. Doubt it would work in reality, but love those colors!)

A very entertaining movie which offers little more than an exciting ride as our heroes chase Twisters across the countryside.

A viewing of this at a drive-in when the weather conditions are deteriorating might be interesting.

A very interesting concept and the movie is fine as a mindless piece of popcorn. Enjoy.
