WHAT IF…
Investment broker Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) is magically transported from his lonely but wealthy life to that of a family man who lives a more financially strained life in the suburbs. What would have happened if you had made a different choice at a crucial point in your life? And what is most important in life? Brett Ratnerās sentimental but touching approach to those questions, a fantasy in the vein of Frank Capra, is not as predictable or mushy as you may think, although the film goes on a bit too long. Thereās some depth to Cageās character, and heās excellent.
