This movie has the same plot as Nicholas Cage's The Family Man, but with a more religious background. I personally prefer The Family Man for the performances and the story en general. Which one is your favourite?
shareNot being a religious nut, I naturally prefer Family Man.
shareIt's EXACTLY the same story, so I guess it's a remake. And although this movie is quite watchable, 'Family man' is really 100x better in every way. Cage was better than the guy in this movie and Tea was better than Kristy without a doubt. And I dodn't like the moral in this movie either.
shareI guess it just depends on perspective. I feel exactly the opposite. I would never watch The Family Man again. Didn't care for the movie at all. I love What If.
shareCan any of you say 'this movie's a rip-off'? I knew you could.
shareI just watched "what if" and thought a disclaimer would appear in the credits stating how it was based off "family man" but it never came.
This movie was done well I have to admit, however I couldn't get past Hercules as a different character since that's all i know him for.Then the religiously overtones came on a bit thick for my comfort.
Even with Kristy Swanson who was a 90's crush for me I have to pick
"family man" despite my neutral opinions toward that movie.
btw,thanks for this thread as it was exactly what I came to this page for and I was delighted to see the topic addressed already.
The Family Man was so much more interesting and I loved it. What If...I found it a little boring.
