Saw it last night. Kind of a "Wonderful Life" in reverse; instead of a nice guy having bad things happen to him you have a jerk having good things happen to him.
Despite the lack of empathy for the title character it is an amusing, happy movie, trying albeit a bit hamhandedly to underscore the importance of family and community. The idea that doesn't seem to dissipate though is the "for all you low rent schmucks out there" that seems to be tacked onto the movies sentimentality.And oh yes, I am in love with Tea Leoni. She is one GOOD LOOKING woman.
Follow Ups:
Ever since I saw her in that short-lived 80's TV show called "The Duck Factory" I've thought that she has that rare combonation of great comedic skills and sexiness that comes along once or twice per generation--she's our Jean Arthur I think. I too am in love . . .You're a lucky man, Mr. Duchovney . . .
But "The Family Man" is one crappy movie even if Tea looks great . .
not one original idea in the whole bag.
***I've thought that she has that rare combonation of great comedic skills and sexiness that comes along once or twice per generation--she's our Jean Arthur I think.Well, you guys are hilarious. Our Jean Arthur? He-he-he... no comment really, juct having good time... there is no harm in these discussions.
We all have fantasies, and one of mine is Russell Crowe as sparring partner, or perhaps even better - him figthing Harvey Keitel - Harvey with the Napoleonic cavalry saber, Russell with a trident and a net. Then you throw in Jeremy Irons with his chemical super-bomb and you have one fine action flick - don't you think so? What's missing? Michelle Pfeiffer in her cat suit...
Man, oh, man! Wasn't that a great fit?! Thanks for stirring up that memory, Victor.And to think, Sean Young wanted that role badly enough to lobby for it on late night talk TV. Of course, Young in no slouch in the looks department either -- see her in "No Way Out" with Kevin Costner (if you can stand him).

But I loved the scene when she entered his apartment stark naked.
I also have to admit that it's been all downhill for her since that film. She is one of the worst actresses to work at Hollywood and her nose job needs touching up. As she is losing what sex appeal she had when she was, err... Young'er, she is finding nothing to replace it with.
BTW, I never saw Michelle Pfeiffer in that movie - only the posters and mag pics.
Victor, do yourself a favor tonight. Rent the movie. Talk about a fantasy...
