In this whimsical romantic comedy that recalls It's a Wonderful Life, Nicolas Cage plays Jack Campbell, a workaholic bachelor who gets to see what his life might have been like had he stayed with his old sweetheart, Kate (Tea Leoni). Thirteen years before, Jack accepted a brokerage internship that marred his relationship with Kate, under the promise that they would only be separated one year. But much later, Jack has become an urban Wall Street exec with no wife or family of his own, and a mysterious proxy (Don Cheadle) offers him the opportunity to step into the life he left behind. After falling asleep in his posh New York apartment, Jack awakens to find himself in bed with his now-wife Kate, daughter Annie (Makenzie Vega), and a new baby, none of which he has ever experienced in his fast-paced single life. After discovering his "real" life has been eliminated, he begrudgingly tries to fit in with his newly appointed life as a family man. The Family Man also stars Saul Rubinek and Jeremy Piven. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

    A totally unlikely tale, but entertaining and good acting by all. Tea is lovely.

    Not all choices are the correct one but the path we choice is the right one at the time. Great Movie.

    The moral of the story is that there is more to life than being selfish and having it all (like family, friends and enjoying close relationships). I guess rich Wall Street investors don't enjoy those things. Anyway, if you have seen "It's a Wonderful Life" or read "A Christmas Carol", you know this story, it's plot and the lesson learned. I like the premise but felt like Nick Cage and Tea Leoni are only decent actors. Of course, I always feel that way about Cage. Interesting roles, plenty of work but limited ability. Must have a great agent. It did inspire me to write another story similar to this one so I will give it two stars for inspiration and Tea's shower scene.

    Yes   |   No
