Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

HotToastyRag Although The Weather Man has some very good acting in it, I can't really think of any reason why it was made, except that screenwriter needed a cathartic release for some issues he had with his father. This is an extremely depressing film, and so difficult to watch that I actually couldn't get through it—and I watch every movie Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine make.Nicolas Cage plays the role that endears him in audiences' hearts the most: a well-meaning but hapless hero trying to get his ducks in a row. His ex-wife, Hope Davis, vehemently hates him and even though they try to get along for the sake of their children, Gemmenne de la Pena and Nicholas Hoult, their group therapy sessions don't go well. He tries to help his children through their troubles while dealing with his own problems at work and tense relationship with his father, Michael Caine.If you have issues with your father, I highly recommend you stay far away from this movie, since the scenes with Michael Caine will probably send you in search of your hankie. Then again, if you have a relatively perfect life with no problems with your parents, children, or ex-spouse, you probably won't want to sit through such a depressing movie. Die-hard fans of Nicky Cage might be able to watch it in its entirety, though, since he does do a very good job.

Semih Sarial I think this is the most underrated film all the time. Nicolas Cage killing it. So realistic family issues and different subject to making movie about. GREAT. Watch this movie like 23.00- 02.00 pm. When movie is finished i was like why is the Nicolas Cage making a movie anymore man we need him.

namashi_1 Gore Verbinski's 'The Weather Man' is a moody, but consistently watchable comedy-drama, that benefits mostly due to its leading-man, Nicolas Cage, who pitches in a superb performance!'The Weather Man' Synopsis: A Chicago weather man, separated from his wife and children, debates whether professional and personal success are mutually exclusive.'The Weather Man' has its share of pros & cons. Some sequences are wonderful in the first-hour, but the second-hour isn't very convincing. Steven Conrad's Screenplay works very well, but only in parts. Gore Verbinski's Direction is note-worthy. Cinematography & Editing are functional.Performance-Wise: Nic Cage can never be doubted. His performance here is just another example of his impeccable talent. He's the life of the film. Sir Michael Caine is ever-impressive. Hope Davis is adequate. Gemmenne de la Peña & Nicholas Hoult are passable.On the whole, 'The Weather Man' is a throughly watchable film & Nic Cage tops himself!

RogerBorg This film has it all! A pancake-laden Cage pulling lemon-face for two hours! Existential angst oozing from every pore! Morose youth, their vivacity subsumed in a clumsy counterpoint of the mid life crises of the protagonists! Yes, there is is, the dignified terminal illness! Aaah, a rapid flash of bouncing tit-flesh, a brief moment of joie de vivre, rapidly and permanently stifled by the crushing burden of first world ennui.Let's be clear, if you want stylish French verite, watch a French film.The Hollywood version is a painfully clumsy pastiche, stumbling from cliché to cliché in a rote, barely aware fashion.This is a dire, dreadful, awful, miserable, grind of a film, with no redeeming features. A critics' dream, the doyen of the Eurphophile intelligentsia: you absolutely must watch this movie if your predilection is for fronting a pretence that the pedestrian can become profound through frenzied beard stroking and expostulation.
