    An important movie

    People are not entirely good or entirely bad, this is a model movie that portrays a man doing the right thing in the wrong way. On one hand he is trying to provide for his family and climb up the ranks but on the other hand he does morally wrong things and neglects his family in the process. He is a man we can relate to and in this movie we become invested in him neither hating him nor loving him but sympathizing with him.

    Something unexpected happens and our investment becomes even heightened, we cry, laugh and cry all over again. You see happiness, sadness and pure life in this movie - well acted. It is also nice to see marriage portrayed in all it's ups and downs without adding too much drama other than that of unexpected life.

    I loved this movie and would recommend it!

    Unexpectedly good

    This film tells the story of a successful headhunter, who puts his career first and family second. The unexpected illness of his son makes him re-evaluate his priorities and decisions in his life.

    I find this film unexpectedly good. Both Gerard Butler and Gretchen Mol are very good in their roles as heartbroken parents. In addition, Gerard Butler delivers the intensity of a ruthless career man who is charismatic on the outside, but not as beautiful in the inside. The plot is captivating and touching. I really enjoyed watching it.

    Important msg - Average Performances

    The story line was very predictable and the acting was just about watchable. People living the dog eat dog world of money and consumerism who plan or have a family should watch this.This move is a must watch for the content not the music or acting. Gerard Butler aka "The Headhunter" performance deserves 5/10 for confirming the greed of the headhunting business.

    Nice movie...

    "A Family Man" is a Drama movie in which we watch Dane Jensen, a successful corporate headhunter who is caught between the pressures of his demanding job and his responsibilities as a father and husband. As Dane faces a tough career decision, he's forced to reassess his priorities when his family's well-being is put in jeopardy.

    The movie explores themes of work-life balance, personal sacrifice, and the struggle to make meaningful connections in the midst of professional ambition. In addition to this, the heartfelt interpretation of Gerard Butler who played as Dane Jensen elevates the whole movie. The emotional core of the story is compelling, and the personal conflicts Dane faces are relatable. The supporting cast, including Alison Brie who played as Lynn, gives solid performances, helping to create a believable family dynamic. The movie deals with important and relevant themes, it follows a familiar territory while the story-line might seem predictable, with only some fresh insights its plot twists make it even more interesting. The character development is well established and it does not feel limited. In conclusion, I have to say that "A Family Man" is a decent film with a strong emotional core that it also offers a solid portrayal of a man at a crossroads in his life. If you appreciate family dramas then I am sure that you will enjoy this movie.

    Everyone should watch this movie to learn the important lesson of life before it late .

    Living so busy in life and very limited for family, this movie reminds us that job and money should,t be the priority in our life. The family are what really matters in our real life and we should give time to the family before its late. acting, writing, romance, music, score, and camera, work is excellent and everyone should watch the movie to learn this important lesson before it late for us.

    • Trivia
      At the screening of "The Headhunter's Calling" at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on September 14, 2016, Gerard Butler (Dane Jensen) stated in a red-carpet interview that he had so much fun in Canada working on this project that he would absolutely love to live in Toronto again. Growing up, Butler used to spend summers as a teenager in Toronto when he worked for his father, who was divorced from his mother back across the pond, at a souvenir shop on Queen's Quay.
