I thought this film was just great. Has a great storyline, with pretty good actor's, and enough plot twist's that kept me entertained.
I did like how nothing was rushed in the film, they took there time in building up the story, and leave it on a very good ending. Most the film was dark, with some comedy mixed with it. Yet it worked very good as a comedy/drama, mostly drama.
I give, The Weather Man, _7/10_
Review's are back in full swing.
