Following the success of his spunky, 1995 directorial debut, The Brothers McMullen, Edward Burns suffers a little sophomore slump with this comedy about a pair of rivalrous brothers who get into bizarre relationships with women in a fierce but immature pursuit of happiness. When they find they both have a complicated interest in the same woman (Cameron Diaz), things come to a head. The film is a little overwritten, undershot, bulky, slow, and static, but it is also funny and inventive--further proof that Burns knows his New York City beat as well as Woody Allen does. With Jennifer Aniston, Maxine Bahns, and John Mahoney. --Tom Keogh

Great Movie, Great acting (2004-06-11)  This movie, like it's predecessor, is about real life, real people, and the twists and turns life plays on all of us. Its funny, thought provoking, and shows how a family really works, with all the pimples and grime. This is the second movie in the series (with the Bro. McMullen being the first) and I found this to be just as entertaining and a nice segue from the previous movie. In fact, 'She's the One' seems slightly more upbeat, more colorful, and in a way, jumps out at you more than 'The Bros.' did. Fantastic acting too. The ladies were good, but the main characters, Ed Burns and Mike McGlone were multi-dimentional, yet subtle at the same time. The father was perfect for the role. If you like real stories and like to have a grin on your face every 10 minutes, you will enjoy this film. If you are looking for an action film with special effects and bombs, flying debree, etc. this will not float your boat.
Surprisingly Entertaining (2004-02-25) Francis (Mike McGlone) and Mickey (Edward Burns) are brothers with different views on life and happiness. These views have been heavily influenced by their father (John Mahoney) through the years, with his, "you come first" attitude. Mr. Fitzpatrick lives near the ocean and owns a boat, wherein the father and brothers visit and go fishing often. Mickey is an down to earth and likable guy without much ambition who drives a cab. Brother Francis is not so likable. He is a successful stockbroker whose standing joke is that his brother is the only English speaking cab driver in New York. Francis is pretentious and conniving, the opposite of Mickey, who is easy going and modest. That they were raised by the same parents seems to be a fluke. Francis also is a cheating husband. He is married to and bored with Renee (Jennifer Aniston), who cannot figure out why Francis never wants to have sex anymore. Francis, nice guy that he is does not want to cheat on his mistress with his wife. However, the same can't be said for his mistress, Heather (Cameron Diaz) who doesn't even try to hide the fact from Francis that she is sleeping around. The naughty Heather, for the record, was once engaged to Mickey, until he caught her naked asleep with another man in their apartment. Meanwhile our happy go lucky cab driver, Mickey, surprises everyone when he marries one of his fares, a mere twentyfour hours after meeting her. Her name is Hope (Maxine Bahns) and Mickey and Hope have every intention of making their marriage work, despite what everyone, especially Francis thinks. And so the stage is set for some clever if not hilarious situations. This is a comedy, not a rip snortin funny movie but it does have it's clever humorous moments and it's sort of like a fable too, with a lesson to be learned for those paying attention.
just for Cameron Diaz (2003-06-25)  the story is good, but sometimes boring. Cameron Diaz acts as weel as always, and Jennifer Aniston too. without Diaz, I rate this movie 3 stars.
Borrrrring (2002-11-30)  It's hard to tell if this movie is so boring because of the plodding script or the wooden directing, since the same guy is guilty of both. It certainly isn't funny, either. Cameron Diaz does a good job as the hooker who prefers old guys with money (surprise!), but the rest of the actors look trapped. Hopefully this will be the last time Ed Burns gets to make a movie.
Love & marriage (2002-06-07) It's interesting to watch the famous actresses in their old movies where they were just starting up & almost incognitos. I remember seeing Cameron Diaz first in My Best Friend's Wedding & I am not quite sure which movie was shown first, either this one or that. But definitely, she faired much better in the other film. I agree with one reviewer, Cameron flashed her smile quite often in this film...maybe not because she really lacked the necessary acting skills...but maybe more of being a novice in the field & still did not know what was exactly expected of her. (But look at her now!) She was also more chubby back then but cuter. Jennifer Aniston looked the same, acted the same (e.g. Friends stints)but just as foxy & sophisticated. As for the plot itself, it was sensible. It focused on relationships --- between brothers, between father & sons, between married couples & between ex-es. I guess the moral fiber was there & the conversations were the backbone of the movie. Maybe the reason why other viewers felt this movie was a bit dragging is because they expected a lot of senseless twists - whether it be funny, sexual or what have you. Listening is the key to appreciating this film.
