Nicholas Cage says Fu-k more than 40 times, lots of sexual content including nudity, the daughter is smoking at 12, the brother almost gets raped by a creepy mentor person, the family just doenst get along at all, I would say that 16 to 17 year olds would be able to handle this movie definately nobody younger.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Weather Man
Parents need to know that this film includes scenes showing a counselor's attempted seduction of his teenaged charge (the older man takes photos of the boy and asks him to take off his shirt). Characters use strong language (frequent use of "f--k," slang for male and female genitals), drink and smoke cigarettes (a 12-year-old girl smokes with her classmate). Flashbacks show the protagonist in sexual situations with women who are not his wife (including brief nudity). When a young girl is called a "Camel toe," the film includes an insert shots to illustrate the reference (as well as a real camel's foot, to pound home the point). The film is focused on family tensions, so many scenes show arguments and resentments. The grandfather is dying, so the film includes several scenes in the hospital. A character points an arrow at his wife's new boyfriend. Several men fight with one another, drawing blood.

one of the worst
Don't waste your time, unless you like hearing the 'F' word from all characters in all scenes. This movie has no redeeming value whatsoever.

puzzling, disturbing at times, but ... I liked it
For the first part of this show I was puzzled by the main characters behavior. He was so stupid and out of touch with everyone and everything around him. I found him offensive, especially when he was interacting with his daughter. The director brilliantly takes this pathetic character and some how brings him level with the audience. Which made me very uncomfortable that I could be this man. I hated the show while I was actively involved with the Weatherman but found myself thinking about Nicholas Cages' character after words, for more than a week. The only other show that has affected me this way was The Tenet by Roman Polanski. A brilliant movie that takes the viewer into a very dark place.
