Yeah, the movie's great though IMO. You have a character that has so many dreams. Making up with his wife. Getting back his children. Becoming a great novelist like his father.
All the while the only thing he's known as is, "The Weather Man".
He realizes that he has all these dreams, but simply isn't able to fufill them (he doesn't have those qualities). So he decides to simply accept who he is, and make the most out of it.
We have to let go of some stuff, and we have to realize that we can't control everything in life.
"Robert Spritz: Do you know that the harder thing to do, and the right thing to do, are usually the same thing? "Easy" doesn't enter into grown-up life... to get anything of value, you have to sacrifice."
The Weather Man can't control the weather, and can't exactly predict it either. So we just have to make do with what we have.
