LOVED it!

Why do people hate this film? The Weather Man is actually one of the smartest, funniest and also one of the most heartbreaking films as well. By seeing the front cover of the DVD and poster of The Weather Man seems like a very bizarre and unique film but it isn't at all to be fair. I really liked this film in almost every aspect but they one thing that was slightly flawed about The Weather Man was that it didn't really have deep involvement regarding the weather and comparing how unpredictable life is just like the weather. I mean, it had that but not that much. The Weather Man teaches about life in a different way like I've ever seen before. This time it's about not being able to predict or guess what your life is going to be like.


Nicolas Cage hasn't delivered a great performance since The Weather Man which is why I think Nicolas Cage hasn't done a great film since then. David Spritz is a middle aged man who is a weather man for the Chicago TV. His personal life is very complicated because he is divorced and has two young children who are in mixed problems of their own. His son Michael is getting himself involved with his counciler but he is a paedophile and that becomes rather hard him David's life. Also, he younger daughter is 12 years old and she smokes and she is very overweight. He always tries his best to fix things but fails most of the time which does become pretty funny but you also feel sorry for him.


Gore Verbinski has tried to create a film that is very new to the films he has done before especially Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. He does bring the comedy into The Weather Man as he did in Pirates Of The Caribbean. He is really good at creating films for pure entertainment. Verbinski hasn't done that many films but they have been good films which is what Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy and The Weather Man are.


This is Nicolas Cage's third best film so far after Adaptation and Matchstick Men. I haven't seen his Oscar-winning performance in Leaving Las Vegas just yet but will very soon. Gore Verbinski's best is obviously Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. The Weather Man is a film that I cannot understand why people hate it which makes it underrated.

9/10
