The Family Man
On the night of Christmas, Jack's life changes rapidly and smartly. Jack stumbles into a grocery store and disarms the gunman. The next morning, Jack wakes up on a strange stroke, finding himself lying on a bed next to Kate, his college sweetheart who left to pursue his career. A new life began for Jack and his previous life was lost. He no longer exists. Jack stumbles in this alternative and exciting world and finds himself in a task of choosing between two paths. He has to choose one, either his high career or the woman he has long loved.

Ratner isn't a capable enough director to work the alchemy needed to make this cheese into gold.
March 22, 2002
A series of moments, sentimental and comic, that never do add up to a coherent fable.
December 22, 2000
The absolute choices it forces on its hapless hero are far too mutually exclusive to be credible.

Leoni is a revelation. Vibrant and gorgeous, she plays her role of the determined mother in love with teasing, salty charm, providing just enough grit to save the film from Ratner's slushy direction.

Its emotional core makes it easy to appreciate as a classical (if not classic) entertainment.

It's rare that an American movie lets slip such a snobbish distaste for the humdrum lives of its blue-collar audience base, but of course it doesn't last.
December 22, 2000
The outsize ticky tackiness of Jack's new life has been stitched together out of the broadest possible series of middle American clichés.

Pleasant movie despite some predictability.

I voted for the happy ending, thusly, my enjoyment was diminished.
December 22, 2000
It's the sort of steamroller seasonal entertainment calculated to make us average folks out here feel temporarily warm and happy about our averageness.
December 30, 2006
A hunk of sentimental fluff that boasts an often-overstated performance by Cage and an annoying turn by Leoni.
December 22, 2000
Too much of the movie is pure formula nonsense.
