I liked it very much - I didn't cry, I watched it with my eldest brother. Such a pessimistic movie... with not a typical 'Hollywood ending'. I didnt missed those candy-sugar-sweet-love screens! That was good as it was. I loved the figure of Nic - lost and hopeless, he is run down but try to make it better. Nicholas Cage doesnt able to make bad films... All that I've seen is so good! Any type of his movies are hit my fancy...lol (I havent seen The Wicker Man yet from which you say that horribly bad - I cant imagine a film could be bad in which Nic plays...but who can tell?) Leastways The Weather Man is a perfectly sad but true movie - and very very very good! Carry on, Nic! I want to see more of these films! I have my fill those show-window films!!!
