Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A headhunter whose life revolves around closing deals in a a survival- of-the-fittest boiler room, battles his top rival for control of their job placement company -- his dream of owning the company clashing with the needs of his family. Family Man benefits from strong performances from Gerard Butler, Alfred Molina, Gretchen Mol and newcomer Max Jenkins, unfortunately the cheap dramatic moments and some jokes that don't land at all ruin what could have been a great film. Plus the main character spends more time with his job and the audience as well instead of spending more time with his "dying" son. I feared that the drama wasn't going to land as well since i first saw the trailer and i was right, the performances might have been great but i was expecting something along the lines of "The Pursuit of Happiness" instead of a film that doesn't know what direction it wants to go or what it wants to be in general. (5.5/10)

Living so busy in life and very limited for family, this movie reminds us that job and money should,t be the priority in our life. The family are what really matters in our real life and we should give time to the family before its late. acting, writing, romance, music, score, and camera, work is excellent and everyone should watch the movie to learn this important lesson before it late for us.

This true to life movie is a "Must See". I found myself living through every emotion with these characters . Gretchen Mol was the movie's heart and sole. As a mother and a wife she was a powerhouse of strength!Gerard Butler played his character so raw and honest, when he cried I cried, when his family triumphed I cried again! "A Family Man" is an eye opener. In a world where it's easy to become absorbed in power and position it reminds us that family must always come first.Maxwell Jenkins you stole my heart!GO SEE THIS MOVIE ... DON'T FORGET THE TISSUES

Without going into specific details, there are quite a few disturbing pieces of rationale flung around in this movie.There is a religious belief that childhood illnesses can be attributed to the sins of the parents. That belief is core to this movie. This movie claims you can cure a sick child by simply not being a scumbag for about 10 seconds. Not only that, your entire life will be redeemed, and yet essentially unchanged.There are other disturbing claims. Like if you hire an aging Boomer your business will grow exponentially. Also, that being a scumbag from a mansion does not count as official scumbaggery. Even drunken whore-mongering can be redeemed, and yet continue unabated. Apparently this is the new American Dream - a feel good movie for the unrepentant.
