Yep.

Yep, just like family man, but with a Freejack(1993 movie satrring Emilio Estevez) type of twist due to the car accident scene. She did emerge 10 years later, after all with no memory of what happened during those 10 years.

So Freejack and Family Man combined. Maybe the curly-haired man who saves Jane from the wreck is Mic Jagger or David Bowie in disguise. Clever, huh!

A Christmas movie can be great! Take Miracle on 34th Street (1947).

This was just like The Family Man. Just not as good.

I enjoyed this movie though, even if it was a rip-off of The Family Man. It was just like from a different perspective. A woman's instead of a man's. I really like the main character. She did wonderful acting.

but this movie sucked Family man was terrific, and the acting in thos one sucked, Family man amazing, i really liked Family Man really did not like this one, the kids on this one were ugly and i hated them, they weren't even funny when they tried to be.

I thought this movie was great! Nancy Mckeon did an excelent job, as always. It was very much like The Familt Man, but not exactly. They are both great movies.

Love each other despite our imperfections.

i just saw it and i thought it was a rip off but still good. it was kind of cheesy, but i love cheesy movies especially christmas movies.

the main plot's the same but I like this film much better. It's kind of fresher, more vivid and merrier. Funnier, too. I did like the kids - especially the girl with the glasses.
And I didn't like the Family Man one little bit.

I haven't seen 'The Family Man' yet. But this plot gets repeated in 'A Snow Globe Christmas' (2013). With Alicia Witt suddenly finding herself married.
