The Family Man

Movie (2000)

"What if..."

Cutthroat investment banker Jack Campbell, who eschews emotional ties, is transported into the prosaic life he might have had if he'd wed his college sweetheart. Instead of a Ferrari, Campbell drives a malfunctioning minivan in the suburbs and is saddled with two screaming kids -- but he learns to love every minute of it.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (factual errors): When Jack wakes up the day after Christmas and sees Kate in the shower, she says "Tuesday's your day", implying it is Jack's turn to take the kids to winter camp and daycare. This means Christmas was on Monday and Christmas Eve was on Sunday. Jack was at the office on Christmas Eve and he told his employees in the war room there was still a full day of trading but the markets never trade on Sunday.
  • In the scene where Kate is lying in the bed and Jack is asking her to remember him no matter what, Kate is reading a book called Being There by Jerzy Kosinski. The book is barely seen in the screen but it has a connection. It is the story of Chauncey Gardiner, an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon. Similar to the storyline of Jack at that moment, as he tries to move into the investment firm from a tire salesman job.
  • The snow falling symbolizing the changes in Jack's life is an homage to It's a Wonderful Life.
  • The scene with Jack looking at his old book and cologne that Kate gives him back was originally supposed to have Led Zeppelin's "All of My Love" playing in the background but the song was too expensive to acquire.
