A single Wall Street businessman, Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage), wakes up one morning and finds that his identity has completely changed: He is now a happily married man living in the suburbs with his wife and two children. The Family Man, directed by Brett Ratner, is a compassionate Christmas story about a man who must choose between a fast-paced career life or a loving family life.
Directed by Brett Ratner - Rated PG-13
I actually wanted to see this movie. It is rare for me to come out and say I want to see a romantic comedy-drama. This was a different case, in my mind. Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni seemed to be the perfect set of lovers. As it turned out, they were. The acting in this movie was outstanding. I love Tea Leoni (especially dancing naked in the shower). But the movie itself was very disappointing. I expected more from my man Nick. Unfortunately, the movie was what would really happen. You wake up the next day, to find out the last three months were all part of a all-too-real dream. I actually found the realistic ending more appropriate, but i have to say I felt like he deserved the girl (if and only if he had the Ferrari). But it made the movie a real downer. On the bright side, both of them lived lives that didn't have the word "volunteer" or "non-profit" anywhere within twenty miles, which is all that really matters. "Leoni and Cage have real chemistry!"
