Nicolas Cage is looking at yet another award-worthy performance in his portrayal of Dave Spritz, while Michael Caine will most likely share those honors in the supporting category. Both actors are absolutely hilarious together in what appears to be one of the sharpest black comedies of the past five years. But the movie isn’t without its faults, and while the film doesn’t necessarily feel long, there are certain moments where it moves a bit too slowly. Then again, this is the mood of the entire film, and can hardly work against something as alluring as the events that follow. The filmmakers know exactly when these moments occur too, because as soon as the story slows down, Cage is hit smack in the face with yet another tasty drink or greasy food product. And unlike the innutritious items that manage to find their way into Dave’s daily life, “The Weather Man” is a very wholesome treat indeed.Watch it,thanks for reading
I was really dissapointed with this film, the trailer looked good so thought I would buy it as I felt like watching something funny, funny! This is far from it, whatever happened to faces like Face Off with Nicolas Cage, I was highly disspointed!
Saw the trailer to this and it looked really good and therefore decided to purchase it, however, major disapointment when i watched it. I would consider this the worst film Nicholas Cage has ever done. Also I would not consider this fit for a 15 certificate, I certainly would not want my 15 year old watching it, it contains too much bad language and referencies to sex!
I bought this film because I am a Nicholas Cage fan. But I found this film so boring after 30 minutes, I turned the film off and haven't watched it since. Not one of his best, sorry!
I'm always ever so slightly uncomfortable with Nicholas Cage, however in this he's totally believeable and Michael Caine is of course incredible... I think the plot in this film is the very pleasant background noise to the message that sometimes you get to a stage in your life when you look at yourself and see who you really are - not who you've imagined yourself to be...
What a brilliant film!!! A little cerebral but excellent all the same. A deeply dark and sometimes disturbing comedy noir. Nicolas Cage gives a performance worthy of a second Oscar. Michael Caine with an american accent has to be heard to be beleived! I don't understand why this one wasn't a smash hit?!
