Plot Summary
High-powered Wall Street bachelor Jack Campbell (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage) is living life in the fast lane until he gets the shock of a lifetime when he wakes up one morning in suburban New Jersey next to Kate (Tea Leoni), the girlfriend he left 13 years ago. Now, Jack's entire world is turned upside down. He's got two kids, he's traded in his Ferrari for a minivan while trying not to lose his mind. Can an upscale, downtown player survive in middle-of-the-road suburbia? And what does it take for a once single-minded exec to really become The Family Man in this hilarious comedy about second thoughts and second chances.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The outsize ticky tackiness of Jack's new life has been stitched together out of the broadest possible series of middle American cliches.
Fresh: Nicolas Cage gives a performance that invites audiences to lay cynicism aside.
Rotten: Holiday moviemaking by the manual.
Fresh: Despite an aura of deja vu and a too-neat fadeout, this time-warp comedy feels fresh and original, and not a little heartfelt.

The Family Man
My wife and I saw this movie when it first came out 10 years ago and we have seen it numerous times since and it still makes me laugh and cry in all the same spots!! I just finished watching it for the umpteenth time and once again, laughter and tears. This movie will make u appreciate all you have and forget about what u don't! Awesome!
In a word: Awesome
Well acted. Great heartwarming story that remimds us there is more to life than money.
A Family Tradition For Us
Few movies have become traditions for us at Christmas time and this has become one of them. It assures all of us that Family trumps everything else. Who cares if you have a Ferrari and instead have missed the sweetest things in life - like a loving wife, sweet children and he beauty of Christmas together. Choose "us" folks! Love your families and lets get back to the traditions that built this country. A movie I enjoy watching every year.
