A man struggles to get a grip on a life that's spinning out of control in this emotional comedy drama. Dave Spritz (Nicolas Cage) is a television weatherman on a high-profile Chicago news program. Professionally, Dave is doing just fine -- he makes great money for a job that demands little effort, and he has a shot at an assignment with a network morning news and chat show. But Dave's personal life leaves a lot to be desired -- his father, respected author Robert Spritzel (Michael Caine), is in failing health, he's divorced from his wife, Noreen (Hope Davis), and his relationship with his children is tenuous at best, especially his overweight daughter, Shelly (Gemmenne de la Pena). If Dave is to land his new job, he'll have to move to New York City, and with his time in Chicago running short, he dedicates himself to trying to salvage his ties with his family before it's too late, though he discovers this is even harder than he imagines. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I love Nicholas Cage, but this had to be the worst movie he has every been involved in. I did not find much humor at all, even though this was supposed to be a comedy. The weak plot moved like a snail and I kept convincing myself not to turn off the movie because things had to get better...they certainly couldn't get any worse. I was able to derive the weak message at the end of the movie, but it would have been more effective if someone had just written a poem. It wasn't even clear during the movie (until the end if he took the Hello America job or not.

    Very very boring. We watched 52.5 minutes before turning it off. It seemed like 2 hours.

    I can't believe Nicholas Cage did this movie! After about 45 minutes the dvd stop working .....or maybe my DVD player stopped playing the horrible excuss for a movie to save me from shooting myself in the head to end the pain!
