  This film will not improve your day

  What a surprise
  
  Cynic, realistic but at the same time moving and with a positive final message: 'keep trying and will get better!' I loved this movie!

  The Weatherman
  
  Usually enjoy Nicholas Cage and Michael Caine films but this is definitely not one to cheer up a Sunday evening! Couldn't figure out the point of it.

  Not as funny as the trailer
