The Weather Man
Chicago in the dead of winter captures the mood of weather man David Spritz’s bleak and dreary life. He struggles with a career decision and hopes to win back his dysfunctional family. Alien found this dark comedy only mildly funny and a waste of Nicolas Cage’s and Michael Caine’s talents. Rated “R”, most of the funnier moments rely on unsophisticated humor involving bad language, sexual content, and the tossing of fast foods. Just like most winters, the movie’s pace is slow and depressing, causing people to wish it would just be over.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “meteorological” stars out of 4.
