Jack's life began to turn upside down on Christmas Eve when he stumbled into a grocery store and disarmed the gunman. The next day, Jack finds himself next to Kate, his college sweetheart, who left to pursue his career on one bed. There is no previous life, Jack's former life no longer exists and perhaps everything has changed completely. Jack stumbles into this alternative world and finds himself in a state of confusion. There are only two ways to choose one, either his high career or the woman he loves.

Its emotional core makes it easy to appreciate as a classical (if not classic) entertainment.December 22, 2000
The outsize ticky tackiness of Jack's new life has been stitched together out of the broadest possible series of middle American clichés.December 22, 2000
Too much of the movie is pure formula nonsense.January 26, 2006
It's rare that an American movie lets slip such a snobbish distaste for the humdrum lives of its blue-collar audience base, but of course it doesn't last.December 22, 2000
It's the sort of steamroller seasonal entertainment calculated to make us average folks out here feel temporarily warm and happy about our averageness.September 19, 2008

A hunk of sentimental fluff that boasts an often-overstated performance by Cage and an annoying turn by Leoni.February 15, 2010
Ratner isn't a capable enough director to work the alchemy needed to make this cheese into gold.December 28, 2010
Pleasant movie despite some predictability.December 31, 2005
I voted for the happy ending, thusly, my enjoyment was diminished.March 22, 2002
A series of moments, sentimental and comic, that never do add up to a coherent fable.December 22, 2000
The absolute choices it forces on its hapless hero are far too mutually exclusive to be credible.
