À propos de ce film

High-powered Wall Street bachelor Jack Campbell (Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage) is living life in the fast lane until he gets the shock of a lifetime when he wakes up one morning in suburban New Jersey next to Kate (Tea Leoni), the girlfriend he left 13 years ago. Now, Jack's entire world is turned upside down. He's got two kids, he's traded in his Ferrari for a minivan while trying not to lose his mind. Can an upscale, downtown player survive in middle-of-the-road suburbia? And what does it take for a once single-minded exec to really become The Family Man in this hilarious comedy about second thoughts and second chances.

Notes et avis

One of Nic Cage's greatest films. He turned down two parts in 1998-9 to do this film. Those two? The Matrix (as Neo) & Lord of the Rings (as Aragorn). While I'd love to have seen him in either of those, I think all three roles went to the best actor for each one. I really love this movie. A classic!

Have you ever felt like your life was just very ordinary and there was some better life out there? This movie will help you realize that your life is special just the way it is.

Jack Campbell learns a valuable lesson in life. He thought he was happy with his choices, but he soon finds out what matters most in life, and it's not his car or job. A great movie that warms the heart with good comedy that doesn't overpower the object of the story. You'll enjoy it.
