Nicolas Cage offers us a brilliant acting about daily difficulties of life. He's known as the weather man, a looser who does not succeed with his family, but does on TV. He tries hard to make things better, but could not help his kids nor the situation with his ancient wife.
Actually, the weather man is the ordinary man. I bet there are a lot of guys like him around the globe. It is not a beautiful vision of life, but it is realistic, a bit sarcastic, and sometimes fun. Because Gore Verbinski gives a cynical point of view of life, not so desperate, just explicating the rudeness that goes through our lives, even if it is sometimes great (being in front of Spong Bob?), it is most of the time, tough.
Michael Caine as the idealistic father, the one who succeed, is remarkable. Just the right tone.
This film is really moving, and I like the fact the director of such a different project like "Pirates of the Caribbean" could make such a project.
Gore, make another in this way after the last "Pirates", we'll be glad.
