The forecast
The title says it all. When George Clooney, Marky Mark and their robust gang of woolly-sweatered, blue-collar guys’ guys come home from the sea with a disappointing haul, they know they’ll be forced to make one… last… trip before the season ends.

What we learn
If the Weather Channel warns that it’s getting blustery, even the world’s sexiest man shouldn’t persuade you into a sea voyage. The Atlantic ocean is, as the film’s characters repeatedly remind us, ‘a bitch’, and she shouldn’t be messed with when she’s in a feisty mood.

So whether you’re paddling to the shops in a kayak, freezing your arse off on a Chicago runway or just wondering where the sun went, our handy list of movie-sourced tips will see you right.
