- Synopsis
- On Christmas Eve, two days before he pulls off a multi-billion-dollar merger, Wall Street hot-shot Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) gets a phone message from a woman he almost married 13 years before. He also tells a gun-toting street tough that he has everything he needs. The punk laughs. Christmas morning, Jack wakes up next to his old girlfriend, Kate (Téa Leoni), in some sort of parallel universe, in a 12-year marriage. Over the next few weeks, he gets a glimpse of what his life would have been like if he'd married her: a house in Jersey, two children, bowling trophies, a job at his father-in-law's tire store, and a lot of love from his wife Kate. When this Dickensian adventure ends, what will he do?

"Sweet, light entertainment, but could have been more. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)."
Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times

"Ratner probably thought it would be Capra-esque, but, really, it's just boring."
Houston Chronicle

-
"Mostly it's a reminder of better movies in this genre"
Lou Lumenick: New York Post

-
"Not even a sincere and heroic effort by Nicolas Cage can redeem the film's essential phoniness."
Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
