Enjoyable, accurate, yet inconsistent and rambling in places, The Weatherman offers a very human portrayal of success and what it is to be content. The performances are fantastic, notably Michael Caine doing a great job of concealing his Cockney roots. The problems come with the narrative - the disemodied voice of Nicholas Cage isn't present enough to be anything other than surprising when it decides to show up. It also feels disjointed in a couple of "point-edifying" sequences that, if one was being unkind, would be better suited to a Guy Ritchie film.
