“I love this move so much that itu0026#39;s not easy for me write an objective review. So Iu0026#39;ll write a subjective one. A sort of a panegyric.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve seen this movie a couple of times. The last time I watched it was with a soon-to-get-married friend. I insisted on watching it. He was later thankful for it. I really believe this movie can improve your relationship with a romantic partner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t think anyone couldu0026#39;ve played Jack Campbell better than Nicolas Cage. He appeared funny to me even when that clearly wasnu0026#39;t his aim. The chemistry between Lea Leoni and Nicolas is amazing. Itu0026#39;s as if this movie was based on their actual relationship. Jeremy Piven has done a great job playing Arnie – the buddy guy! The Family man is one of the rare movies which highlight the not-so-nice side of success and being on top in contrast to happiness and fulfillment family brings.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWriters David Weissman and David Diamond didnu0026#39;t leave anything out when it comes to portraying the world in which parents live. How do you raise your kids, do a full time job, maintain relationship with friends, do household business, every night take your dog for walk, and, most importantly, build a great relationship with your spouse? Wouldnu0026#39;t all that business take away the time necessary to build THE career and lifeu0026#39;s comfort? We might think we donu0026#39;t need all of the above.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd thatu0026#39;s exactly what Jack Campbell had thought as well.”
