Leave your thoughts about The Weather Man.
| Sympatico.caAngela BaldassarreThough difficult to classify, "The Weather Man" provides enough emotional payback to make it worth checking out. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleCage is fantastic as the slightly off kilter, slightly phony personality struggling to find inner peace. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...few movies plant us so squarely inside a main character's head. |
