The Family Man (2000) **

Directed by Brett Ratner. With Nicholas Cage, Tea Leoni, Don Cheadle. A male version of Me Myself I. Once again, a professionally successful bachelor discovers the joys of family life in some kind of “what if” alternate universe. Cage and Leoni are quite good, but Hollywood should probably try filming an original script for a change, instead of constantly beating the same tired high-concept ideas to death.
