Warmed over Glengarry Glen Ross mixed with afternoon soap opera...watching the mawkish movie might make you gag on its mixture of bluster and treacle.

A Family Man isnt good, but its far better than its lazy foundations and cheap motivations deserve.

Clich ridden redemption story about an unscrupulous corporate go getter who changes when his son is dying of cancer.

The whole thing feels like an exercise in demonstrating Butlers acting range as his character arc takes him from boardroom beast to homely hero.

A Family Man is a predictable story about the quest for redemption.
