Despite good performances by Cage and especially by Leoni, The Family Man is too predictable and derivative to add anything new to the Christmas genre. Also, it sinks under its sentimentality. Read critic reviews

Pleasant movie despite some predictability.

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.

A holiday film Joe Lieberman could love, unembarrassed by its wholesome, sugary pro-family message.

If it were only predictable, syrupy, and overlong, The Family Man might still be worth watching for the appealing performances from Leoni and Cage.

A series of moments, sentimental and comic, that never do add up to a coherent fable.
March 22, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/4 -
A pleasant change of pace for both Cage and director Ratner.

Audience Reviews for The Family Man

Dec 19, 2012Wall Street investor Jack Campbell gets a glimpse at the life that could have been in the holiday film The Family Man. The cast includes Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni, and Don Cheadle, who all give great performances and have strong onscreen chemistry. The comedy's lighthearted and good-natured, though some of it's a little obvious. And the writing has some cleverness to it, as it retells a familiar tale in a new and engaging way. Though it may be formulaic, The Family Man is an inspiring Capraesque film that has a bit of magic to it.Dann M Super Reviewer

May 28, 2012The film is nothing new. This has all been done before. But what makes "THE FAMILY MAN" so enjoyable is the stellar cast. Don Cheadle. Saul Rubinek. Jeremy Piven. Tea Leoni. Josef Sommer. All of them give excellent performances that not only save the movie, but make it interesting to watch. Even compelling. But, even with the efforts of this cast, the inability to give the audience anything new, or fresh, everything just feels so familiar that this film ends up falling a bit on the mediocre side.Bryan D Super Reviewer

Feb 13, 2011The fact that it's a failure of a Christmas spin off of It's A Wonderful Life, does not meet the acting potential.Bryce I Super Reviewer
