The Weather Man

starring Nicolas Cage

Honsetly I thought this movie was self-indulgent and whiny.  It was that introspective American filmmaker type of film, which just looks ridiculous to anyone BUT Americans.

Dave Spritz is "the weather man", a whiny and discontent middle aged man who has managed to screw up all his relationships from his kids to his wife, to his father to complete strangers.  The only thing he seems to be good at is his job.  The main culprit of his disintegrating personal life seems to be a  thorough lack of enthusiasm, which is also a surprisingly apt description for me writing notes about this film.  Not as bad as "Garden State", but not very good either.

5/10
