The movie was a rip off of the original. Characters roles were reversed from the original, but the same roles, ie she was working for the weather bureau in NY. In the original he became a weather man. In the original he was the one with the weather intuition. In the original there was a story about him driving up to a tornado buc naked and trowing a bottle into the tornado. This movie she jumps out of a bath tub naked and runs out to a field to look at the storm. The location of certain scenes were altered but the same, ie the rodeo instead of the drive inn. Same types of vehicle for both groups, same type of personalities. Anyone notice how the one character resemble one of the characters from the original movie. The movie was boring and predictable at best. I could watch the original again and again. Not this one. I'm glad I waited until Amazon reduced the rental price to $5.99, I'd be really upset if I paid $19 99. Also, there was complete character development with all members of the movie, this movie there was no character development for the supporting cast. Plus a very weak back story to twisters, the original had a strong back story, and there's a scene in the original when they're sitting at the table and the question arose if anyone ever saw an ef5, the response sent chills threw me.
