Nicolas Cage stars as a Chicago TV weatherman in the aptly named “The Weather Man,” opening Friday. Hmm, where have we seen this before?
Bill Murray “Groundhog Day”
He came to witness the groundhog look at its shadow and ended up saving an entire town and romancing Andie MacDowell. Let’s see Al Roker do that.
Nicole Kidman “To Die For”
She arranges for the death of her husband, which we’d forgive if her temperature forecasts weren’t so off the mark.
Dennis Quaid “The Day After Tomorrow”
He’s actually a climatologist, which is the black sheep of the weatherman family.
Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt “Twister”
They chase huge tornadoes for a living. Makes you feel like kind of a wuss, doesn’t it?
Steve Martin “L.A. Story”
He’s L.A.’s “Wacky Weather-man.” Why so wacky? You would be, too, if it were 80 degrees every day.
