Summary: Sleeper
Review: This movie was great. I was expecting Nic Cage usual stuff, but it was a funny heartwarming tale about life. Really made me look at myself in a mirror. Guys I am telling you, this is not only good for girlfriends, but is funny stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful film
Review: I don't know why so many reviewers were lukeworm or hostile to this film, and the film certainly didn't get the credit it deserved in the box office. Being a management consultant myself, I find the globe-trotting, jet-setting lifestyle of Cage's character highly believable. And the movie brings to fore the issue that too many overworked young professionals face today, namely the balance between career and family. Last but not least, it should be mentioned that Tea Leoni is as charming as ever in this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
Review: I saw this movie in the theatre just after Christmas and I have to say it is one of the best romantic drama/fantasy movies I've ever seen. Nicolas Cage proves once again that his acting skills are second to none, and I don't think I've seen Tea Leoni in a better role.

Cage's character, a rich, hard-working businessman with no time for a real relationship comes across his ex-finacee's phone number after he chose to leave her in order to accept a job offer years before.

A 'guardian angel' of sorts gives him the chance to take a glimpse of how his life would be if he didn't get on that plane. And the result is phenomenal. This is a movie for anyone who has ever wondered, "What if I made different choices in life."

Why this movie wasn't nominated for an Oscar is beyond me, but it is indeed a great film which the whole family will surely enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A feel-good holiday movie.
Review: "The Family Man" is a cheerful movie with an attractive cast, good family humor, and a positive message. I thought "The Family Man" was the setting for a good holiday classic in the style of "It's a Wonderful Life," sure to put you in a good mood coming from the theater (or your couch).

I really liked the movie, but there were only two problems. The first being the ending (but not bad enough to ruin your mood). The second was the story. As Roger Ebert pointed out, the story was almost the exact same as a movie that was released earlier that year called, "Me, Myself, and I." ...

However, I would still recommend the movie to friends and family, and I don't think those short-comings would ruin the movie too much. Personally, I would want the super rich bachelor life, but that's just me.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't seen it?
Review: This movie with one of the greatest leading men, Nicholas Cage, falls painfully short of its message. The formula, although it has been done before and better, is still interesting. Rich man chooses career over love, but what if fate gave him another chance or a "glimpse" at what his life might have been. This movie, while having its moments, is slow moving and just when you get in the groove of his alternate existance they pull the rug out from underneath you by making the characters so far removed from their other life its impossible to cheer for the current couple who are both wealthy and out of touch. The Family Man tried, but it ultimately failed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazed
Review: Briliant, just simply Briliant, preformances By Cage and Leoni. I can't remember watching a movie that made me think questions like "what if I had made different choses in my life, where would I be?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I like the Rolling Stones....
Review: Another surprising movie that I found easier to watch than expected. It seems every year around Christmastime a writer will borrow the same storyline for It's A Wonderful Life, and make a movie that is a horrific copy. While borrowing the premise, the film definately breathes a life of its own. The end result is a warm Christmas movie, more for adults than for the kids.

Nick Cage sheds the Ferraris early and is thrust into middle-class hell, surounded by a wife, kids, and a dog. How would you feel if you models used to fawn over you and you'd put together billion-dollar business mergers, suddenly to find that your one hobby was bowling (not to knock the bowlers out there).

Tea Leoni actually proves that she can act. This is a far cry from her short-lived TV series. She and Cage together do make quite a pair.

My only complaint about this film is the driving force behind the theory that every person will be happier and have a more fulfilling life if they are married with a family. What is wrong with being older, successful, and happy with still being a bachelor? Do you have to have a band of gold (or platinum, if that's your choice!) around your finger to achieve a good night's sleep?

Oh yeah, one of the brightest spots in the film was Don Cheadle (one of my favorite actors). He easily steals the scenes in any movie he's in and this is no exception. His wit and performance would easily get him his wings.....

*And if you don't get my title just watch the movie*

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Film
Review: Nicolas Cage hits your movie screens again in this delightfully fun romantic comedy about a man being given a second chance at happiness. Jack (Cage) is rich, powerful, and believes that he has everything he could ever need in life. But Cash (Don Chealde) a wondering man lets Jack take a glimpse of what his life could have been. I got a kick out of seeing Nicolas Cage trying to sell tires. He reallys shows us that he is still a funny guy and can crack a few jokes instead of shooting up the place. Brett Ratner does a job well done as well. Take a date to see this and enjoy the fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies I've seen all year!
Review: This movies really hits close to home for those of us who have ever wondered how our lives would have turned out had we taken the road less traveled. It really makes you appreciate the little things in life that make each day special.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Holiday Film! Leoni and Cage are A+!
Review: "The Family Man" is a WONDERFUL film to see December 23 or 24th with the WHOLE family! Nicholas Cage is great and Tea Leoni is stunning as a suburban wife and mother of two with Jack Campbell, (Cage), who is a wealthy New York businessman who finds that his world is changed when he catches a 'glimpse' of what his life would be like if he had married his highschool love, (Tea Leoni). The only part I wish could have been better was at the end, when Cage..NEVERMIND!- I WON'T SPOIL IT! see "The Family Man'!
