Discovered recently a beautiful movie, titled The Family Man. Loved it!!
Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni play the lead roles. To my disappointment, I found that the movie is underrated and under appreciated. The movie is about what we lose out on in life in our relentless pursuit of success and a better material life.
My thinking is running totally in opposite direction right now, at this stage of life. But I liked the movie nevertheless. The plot, screenplay and performances were terrific.
Always liked Cage.... and been thankful to him for encouraging Johnny Depp to pursue an acting career. If not for Cage we would have lost out on Depp, who was trying his hand at various things until that time...... like selling pens over phone..... to stay afloat while dreaming of a musical career.
Cage rocked in this movie. And Tea Leoni was superb as usual. I just loved her in another underrated movie "Fun with Dick and Jane" in which she co-starred with Jim Carrey. Tea effortlessly plays again a wife other men would give their left nut for!!
And this movie helped me discover two awesome actors - Don Cheadle and Jeremy Piven. Don hogs your attention like a magnet! Want to discover more of his movies apart from the Ironman series. Jeremy is now playing the famous Ari Gold.
