The Family Man - # 030

Sandwiched between Rush Hour 1 and 2, a pre-accusations Brett Ratner tapped everyone’s favorite “Man” to star in a heartfelt loose adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life that has largely been forgotten despite pulling in $125 million at the box office. We watched as he burned up in The Wicker Man then saw him get pelted by fast food in The Weather Man but before either of those roles Nicolas Cage starred as The Family Man. Bachelor Jack Campbell lives a lavish, fast-paced life as a Wall Street executive but after a chance encounter on Christmas he’s given a glimpse of what life could have been like had he settled down with his college girlfriend and lived the life of a family man. The Family Man stars Academy Award nominated actor and War Machine himself Don Cheadle, Nic’s best bud in the film who is constantly tell him to ‘hug it out, bitch’ Jeremy Piven, Madam Secretary herself and winner of a Saturn Award for this role Tea Leoni, the always a treat character actor Saul Rubinek, and the family man himself Academy Award winning actor and best damn tire salesman in New Jersey Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
