I went to see 13 going on 30 over the weekend. It was fun, but I made a rather loud disapproving noise because the end was pretty predicable. This “what if” genre reminded me of The Family Man or even Big. It got me to really think how it was going to end.
Honestly in Big, I like it for the love scene about as much as the toys and the wonder of skipping several stages in life. I like the love story in Family Man, probably because I like Téa Leoni. I liked the guy in the 13 move more than then Jennifer Garner.
Anyway, it is fun to think about what might have happened in life sometimes, but most often it is probably better that it didn’t happen at all. Although it is hard for me to accept sometimes, but it is probably better to be content than to dream about all the things that I don't have.
The best line in the whole movie was “These aren’t people, these are models.”

The only other Nicholas Cage movie I liked besides Family Man was Raising Arizona.
I liked the love story in Family Man like you did but even more I liked his experience with the kids. I saw the movie when Lisa was pregnant with Corryn and it was really the first time I was truely excited to be a dad.
