The Weather Man Ratings & Reviews
Stairwaytothestars
August 4, 2025
It was quirky and had some humorous moments.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Written by Steve Conrad, this is the smartest script director Gore Verbinski has ever had, and he makes the most of it, aided by a strong cast.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
In the face of a character no one cares about, can audiences be faulted for asking: Why should we?
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The most supremely odd American film of the year.
The New Yorker
David Denby
[Verbinski] and Steven Conrad hold their ground, sticking to their conviction that Dave's story should play as a belated-coming-of-age movie.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's a strange film.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Toward the end of the film Spritzel remarks on his son's deeds by calling them 'an American accomplishment.' At once superficial and yet meaningful, the phrase encapsulates the paradox of our -- and this film's -- dreams and ambitions.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
No, Steve Conrad's dazzling script is something else entirely. It's life, and not just any life, but that of an ordinary man looking through the prisms of his apprehensions and asking, 'Is this really all I am?'
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Succeeds where so few Hollywood movies even venture - it builds a believable life, adds just enough nervous laughter to relieve the realistic tension, and constantly escapes the dumbed-down expectations beaten into us by lesser films.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Dave's self-involvement is so extreme that he can't see that the bluntly human weaknesses of the people around him aren't his fault. We both pity him and want to shake him; eventually, though, we just become bored by him.
USA Today
Mike Clark
This is one glum outing, with occasional pings of wry wit and hearty chuckles.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's all believable enough, but it never sings.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
The film has a lot of rough edges. But it works as an intriguingly offbeat character study while offering Nicolas Cage a chance to show why he used to be considered one of the top actors of his generation.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A vague hint at spiritual rebirth in the closing seconds does nothing to wash away the acid taste of this character, and he's all there is to the movie.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
What The Weather Man needed was a change in its weather -- a certain kind of humor, to be precise, something like the deadpan but human satire of Alexander Payne's About Schmidt.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
I see no reason, apart from chronic yuppie passive-aggression, why Dave shouldn't get over himself and wipe that giant 'L' off his forehead.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
We get a vague movie that a few successful but chronically dissatisfied men will be able to call their own. The rest of us will see the film for what it is: a long, cold mumble from the heart.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Disingenuously conveys the fickleness of day-to-day existence via a monsoon of profane, contrived moroseness.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
What makes this so emotionally compelling is the way Dave scrambles from this deep vale of cluelessness to something approaching moral maturity.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
It's a sincere, well-put-together movie about the modern human condition. Hopefully, this will be enough to attract curiosity. After all, it's nice to get into someone else's head for a while, even if the head is being used for target practice.
