Weather Man
You know how movie studios sometimes put all the funny content in their commercials and then there’s nothing funny left in the movie (like “Throw Momma From the Train”)? It was kinda like that with Weather Man, the Nicholas Cage film.
Not that this was a bad film overall, it just wasn’t what we wanted to see. Nick Cage talking to himself in the movie trying to figure out how to be a dad to his kids living with his estranged wife and a son to his stern non-approving dad.
Nick does manage to find a balance in his life that comes from living through the absolute heartache that comes from being a parent. In the end, he also achieves approval from his ailing father.
The funny parts about people throwing food at him while he walks down the road and a scene where he’s walking down the streets of New York City looking like a suit-clad Robin Hood are already revealed in the commercials. When films advertise funny they should deliver funny.
