    I've watched this movie dozens of times. It's one of my favorites. I think that when he told her to put a picture of him just like he is in her heart, right before he went back to his regular life, that it actually worked and when he described that "dream" he had about their life together, she recognized it and thats why she listened to him and then agreed to stay.

    One of my favorite movies ever. I was so excited when I pulled up TH-cam and saw the thumbnail. I would HIGHLY suggest watching Honeymoon In Vegas, another Nic Cage classic from the 90’s. Happy Holidays man

    A wonderful movie. Leonie and Cage had good chemistry here. Actually a great cast all around. And I really liked the ending. Spoilers: Most movies would have ended with him in the alternative life. This one here went a different way with Jack being back in the life he knew. But still getting the chance to build a future with Kate. I really liked that approach. I also appreciate that even though successful, Jack wasn't a complete a$$hat, but still sympathetic.

    I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the people that requested this film. It's one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. I watch it every year during the holidays. It's a bit personal for me as I pretty much chose my career over a personal life. I do sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if I had chosen differently. There's another film with similar themes called Mr Destiny. Not a holiday film, but it's just as wholesome as this film.

    This movie never fails to make me cry. Especially with the music by Danny Elfman. The first time I watched it I went into such a deep slump because I realized how little I had in life, prior I was comfortable living the single life. But this movie made me realize how much I want a family and kids.

    Actually, I'm not surprised at all that you haven't heard of "The Family Man"; it's a sleeper of a flick that easily gets overlooked, yet it's a sweet, warn film worth watching.
    This film showcases what Nick Cage does best: express sweet sincerity. Any film he's cast in that calls for this open vulnerability of baring the soul is humanized by his ability to express that state of being. Another film that touches on that is 1998's "City of Angels", highly recommended. I think he also does this in "Raising Arizona", which I believe you've seen. I can also recommend 1995's "Leaving Las Vegas", with a warning that it's heart-breaking; you might want to put that one off a few years.

    I love Tea Leoni. I watched this movie because of her. I love this movie because family is the most important thing in life. ANY ideal that weaponizes you or your family will always steer you wrong and end up bad for you. There is only ONE thing you can take to the grave with you, and that is knowing of the love you've left behind for your family.
    God bless you and your family on this holiday. And happy new year.

    I remember watching this movie really young and wishing something similar would happen with my dad. He is incredibly successful and I’m sure that has a lot to do with how hard he worked when we were little but I never really started to know my dad until recently in my adult years. I love him to death I just wish I’d had a childhood with him.
