203. The Family Man (2000)

April 20, 2014

Another Nicolas Cage movie makes the list... This one took a chapter from It's A Wonderful Life and modernized a few elements. Cage stars as a wealthy loner who works hard for his money but doesn't have much to show for it. He is a nice guy though, and one day his niceness ends up getting him in between a man with a gun (Don Cheadle) and a shop owner. Turns out the man with the gun has magical powers and he swaps Cage's life for one he could've had. The next morning, Cage wakes up to find himself married to Tea Leoni, with a couple kids, in a middle class home working for his wife's father in a tire shop. Cage then has to make a decision which life he prefers - the lonely businessman, or the poor family man. It is a pretty good movie if you like those kinds of movies.
