Brief Introduction:
Jack Campbell (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage) is a single,wealthy Wall Street trader living the high life in New York City.All that magically changes one morning when he wakes up in a suburban New Jersey bedroom with a wife (Tea Leoni) he never married and two kids he never had - the life he would have led if he had made different choices as a younger man.Find out what it takes for a single-minded businessman to become The Family Man in this wonderful comedy about second thoughts and second chances.
Nicholas Cage is one of the busiest and most versatile "A List" Hollywood actors,turning his hand to action,drama and comedy.
Family Man is a romantic comedy starring Cage alongside Tea Leoni.Cage chooses his career over his girlfriend Leoni and walks away from her at the airport despite her pleas for him not to leave.Thirteen years later,he is a hugely successful businessman,about to close a multi-billion dollar merger with a rival company.After an encounter with a mysterious character,he wakes up next to Leoni,finding that he has been married to her for thirteen years,with two children and a large slobbering dog...
Review:
The Family Man is a generally decent winter romance that features Nicolas Cage as a corporate,Wall Street hot-shot with "everything" he could possibly want,until his world is turned upside-down when he wakes to the a glimpse of the life he would have lived,had he married long-time college girlfriend Téa Leoni.
The family,the children,the pets,the "job." In other words,it is another variation and combination of A Christmas Carol,and Run,Lola,Run or Sliding Doors or Twice Upon Yesterday or Me Myself I.Cage's initial reaction to the surreal situation seems irrational.Since he has retained all the information of his real life over,who hasn't had some sort of dream like this?Is this the way you act in your dreams?Hardly,I would think; I would imagine that it would prompt the person to do a bit of exploring,especially considering that it seemed so unreal.But luckily enough,the story builds enough to it to leave some room for margin error.The Family Man is well acted; I usually like Cage,and when he merits and demerits his perceptions in the movie,it is all justified.Leoni amazingly is natural and affecting.She comes across very equanimic and real.With its nice cast,it showers you in the romantic shards that are desirable around this time of the season.On the downside,too often,many of the characters receive an introduction and are shown functioning in a regular fashion,and then they're completely forgotten and abandoned.And the dialogue was too austere to be believable.Unfortunately,we don't speak that direct and straightforward; it's rarely the case,and director Brett Ratner (Money Talks and Rush Hour) doesn't have the strength or maturity to handle the dictum like David Mamet or Whit Stillman.Only the last quarter of an hour,when Cage realizes that the glimpse must come to an end,does The Family Man noticeable decline.Still,it's a good romantic fantasy.(One fetid diaper-changing scene provides surprising reaction,disgust and cause to look away from the screen.That's scary considering how we can tolerate heads exploding,guts being ate,and carnal,pornographic sex,and yet we get a little messy poop and it's head turning.)
