Family Man Review

The Family Man is defiantly two thumbs up for the great acting from Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni which is expected from these two professionals. If you ever wondered what your life would be like in a different view, then this movie would be right up your ally. From Wall Street to the suburbs of New Jersey, Imagine a twist like that in your life. The movie is a roller coaster that goes from getting on the ride in United States to Mexico when you get off. A man who starts off as a high roller on Wall Street and then the next morning waking up to wife and kids to the woman he once dated in high school. From a man who is good with children "on a case by case basis" to becoming a legitimate father in all ways and shows that even though you might have the money and you think you may have it all but really you do not know what you have until you find that special someone that you fall in love with. Nicholas Cage brings comedy, romance and business into the same movie which adds depth to a stellar movie. To the men reading this you might be watching more of a romance movie but it gives great perspective on life no matter who you are and what genre of movies you prefer. Also Makenzie Vega would turn a cold hearted killer to a teddy bear after here performance especially when she says with her teary eyes "where is my real daddy", for how young she is, her acting job is spectacular. Makenzie by herself made this movie a really good family movie that will make you want to hold your loved one tight and let them know how much they mean to you. I'll even admit that at times I felt like I was about to cry because of how sweet she is. With that being said a great movie to watch especially during the Christmas season. If all that I have just said is not enough to watch this movie then maybe the four awards they won from this movie, from best actor, to best movie, this movie has it all.

125 minutes approximation on how long "The Family Man" is.
