This Could Be Heaven

"This Could Be Heaven"
by Seal
from The Family Man

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, I picked the song from the end credits of The Family Man, one of my family's favorite Christmas movies. We just watched it again tonight and Nicolas Cage does such a great job as the lead role in the adaptation of It's A Wonderful Life. Rewatching it tonight, I was surprised at how many other established actors made an appearance, from Jeremy Piven to Kate Walsh to Ken Leung to Amber Valletta.

I'm a sucker for movies that explore alternate timelines and the "what ifs" of what could have happened if a character had made a slightly different choice at one point in their life, and this was a particularly good version of that story. I had also completely forgotten that Brett Ratner of all people directed it!
