Amazon.co.uk Review

Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) is a quintessential Wall Street shark, scoring killer deals by day and shallow escort sex by night in The Family Man. Carp all you want about this derivative premise, with its marginal stereotypes and biased embrace of domestic bliss and dirty nappies. 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 film romances: the marital love story. Leoni is Cage's perfect match as Jack's idealised but imperfect wife and the films'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, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Simply Excellent, 9 Jun 2006
By Malcolm Clarke (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
Perhaps not one of Nicholas Cage's most notable films, certainly not in his normal action genre, but worth having as a lovely feel-good film.

The classic money vs love struggle, Cages character goes back in time through a 'glimpse' to see what would happen if he chose love over money 13 years previously. At first he cannot stand his own life, however grows to love this new life, and people in it.

When he gets back into the real world, surrounded by his money, he realises the gaps in his life.

An excellent film from start to finish with an excellent cast. As said previously in the reviews, every couple should own this film. I loved it when I saw it in the cinema, a real classic in my opinion.

So grab your date, stick this on and let the magic happen!

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical love story for everyone, 4 Jan 2002
This is a truly wonderful film that contains love, humour, suspense, and even a hint of tragedy and despair.
Nic Cage plays an upper class, fast-moving, hard-talking, rich business man whose life is turned on it's head in the most unlikely way. Having lived his life believing he has everything a man could want he is offerred a glimpse into an alternate reality that he is forced to live out. A reality of a family, with a wonderful loving wife, 2 gorgeous children, and friends of the highest order - all the things he's never had. The plot then unravels as Cage slowly adapts to his new life without really wanting to. As the ending nears he realises something that he was neglecting his whole life.
Both Cage and Leoni put in superb performances that draw you into their cosy life and the tribulations as Cage realises what's happening to him. It even throws in a few laughs too.
Instantly one of my favourites, treat yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Family Man, 20 Nov 2004
By D N Pearce (Knutsford, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A story of what is most important in life.

It's an old cliche, but money doesn't make you happy and Nicholas Cage is the man with more money than you could imagine. He thinks he is happy in his every day life until he is given a glimpse of what his life could have been like. Cage is left thinking about a choice he made thirteen years earlier to pursue a life in business over a life with the woman he loved.

Cage is projected into a parallel life on Christmas day - a life where he chose family over fortune. In a world where careers come first, this film tears down the ideals surrounding modern materialism to show that the commitment most people should make in life is to each other.

Cage is brilliant as he first rebells and then welcomes his new life with his all adoring wife and somewhat sceptical daughter and son. What he doesn't expect is to realise that the family man is what he wants to be. What he doesn't want to accept is that this new life will be taken away from him.

The Family Man will engage every viewer from start to finish in an emotional roller coaster ride that does not fail to pull on the heart strings at every turn.

This film has massive feel good factor. Every couple should own it.
