Summary: What if...?
Review: THE STORY: Nothing new: A ruthless, cold-hearted businessman named Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) gets a glimps how his life would have been if wouldn't have left his girlfriend Kate Reynolds (Tea Leoni) 13 years ago to start a career. So one morning he finds himself as a family man and.. well.. he begins to like it. Off course he is torn out of that illusion and realisez it would be great to see Kate again and live this life for real. CAST: Nicolas Cage is perfect. He manages to carry the movie and keep the ballance between comedy and tragedy. We all know he's got the sadest eyes in Hollywood but he can also be extremely funny. Tea Leoni plays a likeable Kate Reynolds. She is the perfect wife for Nicolas Cage. There's a lot of chemistry between the two of them and you don't wanna be Jack Campbell if Katie is getting angry. Don Cheadle, who was brilliant in Traffic is reduced to a chliched African American who goves Jack the glimps of the what if world. WRITING/DIRECTING: This could have been such a sappy romantic movie but it actualy touched me on several levels and warmed my heart. The combination of comedy (which sometimes is a bit too over the top) and Drama works pretty well and you begin to ask those famous questions to yourself. What if, what if.. Brett Rattner.. well, I couldn't believe that after two mediocre buddy movies (Rush Hour and Money talks) he'd be able to direct a serious movie. He did a great job. My favourite shot is when Cage walks his dog. Also the images have a warm feeling to them which adds to the story. THE DVD:Making of, Deleted scenes, hillarious outtakes, director/producer/writer commentaries. All you could ask for. But what makes this DVD an absolute winner is the isolated music score with commentary by Danny Elfman, who I would hire if I would ever do a Christmas movie... ALL IN ALL: I guess this movie is a little bit corny but that kind of corny that touches you and feels real. Great performances and an interesting story. The only problem are some bad jokes.. but that's all. See it at Christmas time with your loved ones..

Summary: TITLE MAY SOUND BORING, BUT THIS MOVIE IS A WINNER!
Review: "The Family Man" is pure genius! Stories like this have been done before in several movies, but this version is more than welcome. Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni are amazing. By the time this movie ended, I wanted to be Tea Leoni's husband SO BAD it hurts. VERY FUNNY, VERY TOUCHING. Don't be fooled by its boring title, "family Man" is MORE than entertaining. The DVD is packed with extra features including deleted scenes and VERY FUNNY OUTTAKES! Don't even bother renting it, just BUY IT. Worth owning, hands down.

Summary: The Family Man
Review: I was disturbed by this movie. Jack is a wall street tycoon who is offered a look at the road not taken. He responds to a street thug that he needs nothing in his life, he wakes up Christmas morning to find himself transported to the life he would have had, had he not dumped an earlier girlfriend in order to go to London. He discovers that he needed emotional attachment and, realizing that goes about acquiring it. All that is fine, except that at one point Jack says to his wife "I want a life that others will envy." She responds, "Others already envy us." The point of Jack's "glimpse" is that he needed emotional attachment in order to be a better person, not so that he could be envied that as well. ... Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni were both wonderful in this movie, and I enjoyed watching it, but I was really bothered by the utter selfishness of its message.

Summary: courageous
Review: It is more than a family Christmas movie. The picture provokes you to think what is really important in your life. Rather it's going to be a great carrier and lots of money or maybe some old-fashioned values like to have a loving family. The movie raises challenging question in society that is dominated by money.

Summary: One of the best films I have seen in year 2000
Review: In fact, the title may sound a bit boring. However, the content isn't the same thing. It gives me a reflect on what I really need in my life. Money? Power? or any other things. You can see how a successful person as described in the film try another kind of experience if he has nade a totally different decision. And, I think most of us will have the same feelings. We made a decison and we might still believe that if we had chosen something different, the outcome may be different. Would we then feel regret . I am not sure. But, at least , I can say that some may still notice that they have missed something important in their life, and this film is what they should watch.

Summary: Heart Wrenching
Review: Ever since i saw this movie more than six months ago, I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with words to explain this phenominal movie to those who have yet to see it. I realize now that there are no words to even begin explaining it. For those of you with family or dreams of a family who stick by your side no matter how many mistakes you make, this movie is for you. If you have an open heart, this movie is for you. One particular scene that sticks in my mind is when Jack Cambell (Nic Cage) is so stressed with his new-found family life that he tries on a $2,000 suit at the mall and wishes to purchase it. This leads to a arguement between him and his wife. And yet for their anniversery, she finds him an exact replica of the suit at an outlet mall and gives it to him. Jack is touched. The scenes like this make The Family Man the movie it is and I simply cannot wait to buy it.

Summary: The Family Man Great Movie
Review: My husband and I went to go see the movie after Christmas and he told me that he liked the movie alot. It made him realize that he made the right choice. We are high school sweethearts and after school we separated and went different directions. After almost a year he called and asked me to marry him. So he said that it made him think about everything and how things would happen. We both rate this movie a five star. I can't wait to get the movie when it comes out.

Summary: Family Man
Review: Nick Cage was great in this film. I am a huge Cage fan and I will enjoy anything he does. This movie is very familar so it is not a totally new idea, However, it was still a lot of fun and very cute. I look forward to purchasing it as soon as it comes out. Cage could do no bad film. Once again he shows his diversity.
