Don't weather this global-warming tale

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Entertainment Writer

"The Day After Tomorrow" is a big, loud, summer action movie masquerading as a cautionary tale with social and political relevance.

The film's cataclysm of climatological chaos turns the Northern Hemisphere into tundra more frozen than Lambeau Field. Yet it also manages to bring people together -- the right people, namely the film's stars -- and enlighten them at the right moments.
