Any Love For Nicolas Cages' ''Family Man''?

I too am a fan of the movie. I saw it during its theatrical run and now own the DVD and have viewed it a time or two. I only wish Don Cheadle's character was explained.

I'm not a big fan of Cage in general. I think National Treasure was the only movie I could stand him in. I liked the end of Matchstick men though.

Liked it for what it was. I bought it on one of those 3 for $20 used deals cuz it had DTS. That, and the Ferrari. (Doesn't take much to justify a purchase for me.)

I'm really pleased there are some others out there that dug this movie! I really liked Jeremy Piven's character in this movie too... that man is a god.
Can't help but watch him and think 'let's hug it out bitch' these days, though

Good flick that I always watch during the Christmas season. Also agree with statements about Piven. Those are his roles and he owns them. Grosse Point Blank was the same kind of character as well. "10 YEARS, MAN!"

I've always liked this movie too. Easy to watch and entertaining. Great characters imo. I get the same feeling watching this as I do watching groundhog day, whatever that means.

This is a fantastic movie about possibilities. It's moving and encouraging and very few movies get to me like this one does.
And Tea Leoni is awesome in it, which is not something I say too often but totally appropriate here.
