Advantages: a heartwarming film

Disadvantages: bit soppy

This is one of those films that makes you think about what you have in life and makes you think about the choices you have made. Films that make you think are always interesting to me and this is a very good sentimental film. Nicholas Cage plays Jack who left his childhood sweetheart at the airport and had a successful life in business but never married or had kids. Then something happens and he wakes up in the life that would have been if he had stayed with his sweetheart.
I think Nicholas Cage plays his character very well. He makes you understand what he is going through and you see his point of view and you feel for him when he realises that being married with kids is what he's always wanted. Tea Leoni is excellent as his wife/sweetheart and the story has a real moral in that money isn't everything especially if you are alone. What is important in life is having a family that love you.
Overall it is a good family oriented film that i would reccommend to everyone to watch and enjoy.

Summary: a nice heartfelt film
