Overview
Jack's lavish, fast-paced lifestyle changes one Christmas night when he stumbles into a grocery store holdup and disarms the gunman. The next morning he wakes up in bed lying next to Kate, his college sweetheart he left in order to pursue his career, and to the horrifying discovery that his former life no longer exists. As he stumbles through this alternate suburban universe, Jack finds himself at a crossroad where he must choose between his high-power career and the woman he loves.
My wife is quite a gift. A man gave up his career for a family in another reality, okay, there are pros and cons, but the moment he finds a good job with a salary twice as high, she just played out such a tragedy, I want to grow old with you in the same house blah blah, but can I be happy for my man at all or not? And what's wrong with New York for kids and moving?
It all gives off such a frosty, existential melancholy and loneliness that you want to drink.
A Christmas movie, my ass.
We just watched it too)
In fact, it's a very good family film about real life values.
The atmosphere of wonder is perfectly conveyed. The beautiful New York winter, the abundance of illumination – everything immerses in a fairy tale.
I especially liked the black terrorist. A real god in an unusual appearance. The perfect synthesis of heroes turned out
What might have been.
I review it every year at Christmas. 💗
