Summary: Much more than I expected!
Review: When we decided to go to the cinema (I, my mother and my sisters) I needed a movie which was enjoyable to all of us. And that's hard. Mostly we go to a romantic comedy. And alltough I didn't expect much of "The Family Man", it was the movie which came the closest to it.The movie begins pretty basic like other Christmas movies, but soon, it gets very funny and heart warming. However, after the first half, the movie gets a bit too serious than is needed. In that part I would have liked some more laughs. Alltough not a classic, this movie is still a good movie to see with the whole family.

Summary: Nicolas cage shines in this movie
Review: This movie is the perfect movie to help a person realize what he or she has in there life. This movie has you continually asking yourself "What if". Tea Leoni plays a great, believable role and Nicolas Cage just adds his oscar winning performance in to make this movie a hit. This movie gives you reason to believe in fate.

Summary: The Newest Annual Christmas Movie
Review: It's A Wonderful Life....A Christmas Carol....The Christmas Story, et al, this is now among those few all time Christmas favorites. While not available for home viewing yet, even if you don't have a machine, you'll be able to watch this film, probably by next Christmas. This heart warming story is topped off with a totally believeable ending, which all alone is satisfying. But do go and see it, or buy it, because there will be days when a film like this can make all the difference.

Summary: A very Dry Film.
Review: A dry story about Nick Cage playing a guy who gets to see what his life would have been like if he had married his girlfriend some 13 years before. Similar to "Groundhog's Day" but lacks the intelligence and charm of that film for cheap laughs and a climax that makes you want to go out and get drunk.

Summary: Nice film, weak characterization
Review: Upon seeing trailers for "The Family Man", I immediatley expected a wanna be "It's a Wonderful Life." I also noticed Nicolas Cage was in the film which also lowered my expectations. Well, I saw the film and didn't get the, "It's a Wonderful Life" wanna-be that I expected! The story works well and pieces together nicely. But, the characters in this film are not strong enough. I found myself having to really imagine what kind of person Jack (the character played by Nicolas Cage) actually was. In conclusion, is "The Family Man" a good holiday film? Yes. Is it a Christmas classic as stated in the trailer? No.

Summary: It's like... you know...
Review: Not a very original film, but still an enjoyable one. It's a very lightly preachy film telling us that ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, and that is so true. A very light hearted film for the hoidays is what this is. A nice cameo by Don Cheadle really makes this film worth while. So, I give Family Man 3 and 1/2 for having its heart in the right place, and great performances by Tea Leoni and the always wonderful Nic Cage. So go out and enjoy, even if it can be predictable at times...

Summary: A FEEL GOOD FILM
Review: Nicholas Cage is a wall street tycoon that has everything but a real life. As Christmas approaches Cage is busy landing a mega merger deal when an "angel of fate" transports him into what his life could have been like if he would have stayed with his former fiance (Tea Leoni). He finds himself with a wife of thirteen years and two very cute kids. The problem is that he has all the memories of his wall stree existence and no idea how he got where he is. The result is a feel good comedy that makes you wonder "what if". The plot line is not all that original. It is basically the same film as "Mr. Destiny" except with the reverse circumstances. Also, unlike Jim Belushi, Nicholas Cage CAN act. Cage pulls off this comedy better than most of his previous performances. Tea Leoni is charming and funny in her own right. They mix well on screen and the child actors add that OH SO CUTE factor that seems to be a must have in movies lately. Overall the movie flows good and holds interest throughout. It plays on human emotion to the point that the viewer really seems to care about the development of the characters and wants to know what happens. The ending is hopeful without being the typical over the top sap. I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it.

Summary: The Family Man is a good movie but not a "family" film
Review: In case you are wondering how I'm able to write a review already, my local theatre had a sneak preview. Anyway, Nicholas plays a successful business man and play boy in his best performance that I've seen. Then an angel disguised as a gangster puts him in a family life that would have been his if he had married his old girlfriend. The Family Man is a pretty funny and touching movie but the humor stops in the middle. However, there are some great performances from Tea Leoni and Nicholas Cage. Go see this movie but leave your smaller kids (under 12) at home and see it yourself first! There is brief nudity and some suggestive material.
