THE FAMILY MAN
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni and Don Cheadle
Director: Brett Ratner
Running Time: 125 mins
When Wall Street banker Jack Campbell (Cage) stops a hold up in a general store, the perpetrator (Don Cheadle) asks him what he needs in his life, when Jack replies nothing and that he has everything he needs, he tells him that he will have to do something about that. The next morning he awakes in New Jersey suburbia with two kids and married to his college sweetheart Kate (Leoni), who he left 13 years earlier. Is this a glimpse of what could have been?
Billed as a modern day ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, this movie never quite catches the magic of the Frank Capra classic, but it gives it a jolly good try. Touching and heart warming but never quite taking it to the sickly sweet extremes, this is a great film for the holiday season and is an extremely good date movie. Great performances from both Cage and Leoni ignite the screen with a touching heart-felt glimpse of what Jack’s or anybody’s life would have been like if we had made different choices. A great feel good movie.
