Pros: Cage, Tioni, funny, high feel-good factor, cinematography Cons: Slight breakdown of internal logic, technically very average
The Family Man is a sweet film starring Nicholas Cage who, at the start of the film, is saying goodbye to his girlfriend Kate (Tia Leoni), who has grave misgivings about this trip to London he's going on. He dismisses her premonition that ...
Pros: fun love story with an uplifting message; Cage; Leoni; Mackenzie Vega; Cheadle Cons: easily misunderstood because of deleted scene possibly
2000’s The Family Man unfortunately looks shallow if you don’t see the DVD’s deleted scenes in the Bonus Features section. You may just conclude that it’s a formulaic love story filled with plot holes. The scene may be found in the ...
Pros: Cage, Leoni, Vega, heart-warming story Cons: ending
The Family Man was one of those movies that I watched once and actually forgot about. Not because it wasn’t any good, but it was one that after seeing it, there really wasn’t any point in seeing it again because you know what all the ...
Pros: Awesome acting, spectacular script, and it leaves you kind of breathless... Cons: Mom & kids rarely seen together, little girl's lisp is on the border of annoying...
Screwing around with the human memory has really been "the thing to do" lately. Only in the rarest case is this concept ever attached to a warm, funny story. Fortunately for us, The Family Man is. The way I felt leaving the theater after ...
Pros: Nicholas Cage's performance, the kids Cons: Ending could have been better
Examine the what if. What if that oh so important decision that made your life had not happened? What if you had done things different? Took a different road? Well, Jack Campbell gets a chance to see a glimpse of what could have been, one Christmas...
Pros: Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni, supporting cast Cons: Familiar and predictable
We all imagine what our lives had been like had we chosen a different path. New York investment banker and workaholic Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) lives out his imaginings one Christmas day in the movie The Family Man. After working on a major...
Pros: Funny, Tea is great, doesn't say either lifestyle is wrong Cons: Predictable (but it's funny getting there)
The Basics:
Nicholas Cage as Jack Campbell
Tea Leoni as Kate Reynolds
Music by Danny Elfman - Beetlejuice, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Dick Tracy, Midnight Run

Pros: Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni give sincere, sweet and sexy performances Cons: The script falls flat when it should sparkle
The comparisons with Frank Capra’s perennial classic are inevitable. Yes, Virginia, The Family Man shares much of the Yuletide spirit with It’s a Wonderful Life. There’s a man who’s shown an alternate version of his life by a mysterious...
Pros: Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni are strong and have a surprisingly enjoyable chemistry. Cons: It's sappy. That's OK, but it's also predictable. OK, it's also manipulative, quite slow in spots and the ending is awful.
You ever find yourself trying to like a movie more than it deserves? Like, certain plot turns or lines of dialogue will ring false, yet you'll still muddle through, thinking happy thoughts and giving the subject a break? Not me. I did come...
Pros: Touching film, great acting Cons: Some un-realistic qualities
The Plot
The beginning of this movie starts out with a couple who is supposedly completely in love. They are at the airport and the man Jack Campbell is about to board a plane to go to a far away place to advance his career, leaving behind...
Pros: Great acting; lots of harmless fun. Cons: Up-and-down script.
I don’t really think that remakes are a good idea. Once in a while, a remake serves its point: improve upon the formula of the original by using modern-day sensibilities. Most of the time, however, a remake is used to milk out a franchise by...
Pros: Lighthearted, Easily watchable, Good performances Cons: Ruthlessly cliched, Overlong
Yes, The Family Man is a typical, feel-good, It’s-A-Wonderful-Life-spawned Christmas fable about a guy whose ethical vision has become obscured past the point of his bank account and “Forbes” image, and is given a chance to redeem his soul...
Pros: Intelligent, Charming and Fun Cons: Almost Formulaic
When reviewing The Family Man, it is almost impossible not to mention Frank Capra's holiday classic, It's A Wonderful Life. After all, both films feature lost souls who are afforded the opportunity to get a glimpse of what...
