THE WEATHER MAN
SYNOPSIS
Popular Chicago weatherman, Dave Spritz, has a
shot at the big time when a national morning
television show calls him for an audition.
Professionally, Dave is on the top of the world, but
his personal life is in complete disarray. Dave's
painful divorce, his dad's illness and trouble with his
kids have him poised on the knife's edge between
stability and disaster. The harder he tries to control
events, the more he finds life, like the weather, is
completely unpredictable. --

David
Nicholas Cage stars in The Weather Man as Dave Spritz, whose life sucks. His estranged wife,
Noreen (Hope Davis), has a new boyfriend, his father (Michael Caine) thinks of him as a failure, his
son, Mike (Nicholas Hoult), is having issues with a possible child molester, and his daughter,
Shelly (Gemmenne de la Pena), is being teased by peers at school for having "camel toe". Dave
can't even walk down the street without getting fast food thrown at him. Dave Spritz has his ups
and downs, fun times, sad times, but that's life. The Weather Man is depressing but funny at
times and definitely worth the price of admission.
