Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) is the quintessential Wall Street shark, scoring killer deals by day and shallow escort sex by night. His round-the-clock routine of empty luxuries is disturbed one lonely Christmas Eve when a gun-packing punk (Don Cheadle)--perhaps an angel of mercy--responds to an altruistic gesture from Jack by giving him "a glimpse" of the life he could have had. Could have, that is, if he had married the girlfriend (Téa Leoni) he'd abandoned 13 years earlier, raised two adorable children, worked in his father-in-law's retail tire outlet, and lived happily ever after in suburban New Jersey. Thrust into this "glimpse" of the path not taken, Jack's a single-malt man in a lite-brew world, wondering if he'll ever return to his "better" life of callous wealth and solitude--or if he even wants to. Carp all you want about this derivative premise, with its marginal stereotypes and biased embrace of domestic bliss and dirty diapers. The simple fact is, The Family Man works like a charm. Under the assured direction of Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), this holiday crowd-pleaser offers comedy and chemistry in equal measure, making the hilarity of Jack's predicament a smooth catalyst for that rarest of movie romances: the marital love story. Leoni is Cage's perfect match as Jack's idealized but imperfect wife, and the movie's appeal largely derives from its awareness that any life has its pleasures and pains. While it only flirts with the dark desperation that makes It's a Wonderful Life a classic predecessor, The Family Man is an irresistible what-if fantasy, and even its debatable ending rides on a wave of genuine warmth and sentiment. --Jeff Shannon

Wonderful! January 27, 2010
Robert Gorski (Torun, Poland)
One of my favorite Christmas movies! But there's something wrong with picture in this release - after 1 h 52 minutes, for 2-3 seconds. I get another copy, and tried on different player - the same.
Great Family Movie January 3, 2010
Katara Omar (Santa Clara, Ca)
This is a must for any household! I love watching this movie around the holidays! This is one of my top 3 fav Nick Cage movies! Makes you start to wonder what happens if you take the road less traveled!
A Gem of a Movie December 31, 2009
Carmassi (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I couldn't recommend this movie more. Everything about it is a delight. It's touching, comedic, and heartfelt. For the last 40 years I've considered the Godfather to be my favorite movie, but after watching The Family Man again last night, I finally admitted to myself that this movie is my favorite - bar none - despite some of the flack I get from some family and friends about being a hopeless romantic. I agree with others who believe that this movie deserves to be thought of as a classic. It certainly is in my eyes.
