*** Stars
Nicholas Cage is very good at playing down-on-his-luck characters and he ads another credit with The Weather Man. He may be at the top for his professional career, but he is rock bottom with his personal life. He's divorced, he barely knows his kids, and his father is dying from Lymphoma (Michael Caine). He regrets the decisions he made about his marriage and doesn't seem to care that his career has made him famous (even though many people throw fast food at him for wrongly predicting the weather).
This is a depressing and emotional story of one man suffering from his mistakes. Nicholas Cage is dynamite for this role. He covers the plot holes and brings his character into focus. This is a very underrated performance.
