"...Bring an umbrella"

The Weather Man (2005)
Directed by Gore Verbinski, rated R, 102 minutes

The Weather Man is an unformulaic and bitingly funny dark comedy about a successful weather man whose life outside of his job is a complete failure. Nicolas Cage gives a subtle and endearing performance, and he has great chemistry with Michael Caine, who plays his father, and Hope David, who plays his ex-wife. What makes the film really stand out is its rather bleak tone and its clever and raunchy humor. The Weather Man aptly mixes darkly hilarious moments and potent dramatic ones, that make the film so memorable and refreshing. You'll like it if: You like dramadies, dark comedies, Nicolas Cage, Lord of War, American Beauty or About Schmidt.
