The Family Man (2000), with Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni.
The Family Man is about Jack Campbell (played by Nicholas Cage), a Wall Street Tycoon who enjoys his wealth, beautiful women and the single life.
On Christmas eve, in a convenience store, Jack meets Cash (Don Cheadle) and tries to diffuse a confrontation between Cash, in full thug-life regalia, and the Korean store owner. Jack trys go give advice to Cash , declaring finally that "everybody needs something." Cash turns the question back on Jack, but Jack firmly believes he has everything he could ever want.
And that's where the "fun" begins. Jack goes to sleep in his penthouse but wakes up in a crowded house in Téaneck, New Jersey, wakes up next to his high school sweetheart (Tea Leoni), in 12 years mariage with 2 kids. He no longer drives a Ferrari but a minivan.
Jack is given the opportunity to see what his life would have been like if he had followed his college sweetheart back in 1987. Although this film follows themes like "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Christmas Carol" you will enjoy seing Cage's character change throughout the film, going from the rich snobbish playboy to the FAMILY MAN. It is definately one worth seeing.
