I can't believe this movie dosen't have a better score???
Are my fellow male voters striking some form of revenge on Ed because he pulls such hot tail???

Ed Burn's She's the One is really not that great however I don't mind his homage to Woody Allen but his first film "Brothers McMullen was really good"
shareI liked the movie, but I argree. Out of the whole film there were only a handful of worthy lines and all were at the end.

Sorry, I watched this flick for the very first time last night, and thought it was pretty damn good....certainly enough to get me onto imdb today to read up on it! :) Class film with a nice straight story and good characters I actually cared about. Thank christ Ed Burns knows how to make a movie, coz everyone else seems to have forgotten.
shareI disagree that Edward Burns knows how to make a movie. I think he had a little bit of luck with "Bros. Mc." Which I thought had some clever observations, but was too long and too smug about itself to really be a great film. Otherwise his stuff is pretty standard. I just saw this a couple of nights ago and I didn't expect much. That said, I enjoyed it.
The family scenes with John Mahoney are touching and there's definitely some good interplay between Franny and Mickey, but everything else felt forced -- including Cameron Diaz's entire character and performance. Though I don't normally like Amanda Peet and she was pretty good here.
Can't really comment on Brothers as I aint seen it yet, but alot of folk say its stronger than She's The One. Films nowadays seem to rely so heavily on the abilities of a computer and some new fangled media to bring their stories to life. She's The One, didn't. At all. Not even a smidge! Or a smudge!
Just the simple basics of a good story and familiar (exception noted :) )characters. And, that's something nice to see. And Frank Vincent was inspired!!
Besides, you gotta give this bloke some credit. Was his second mainstream flick, which he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in. Thats some talent. Damn man, if I could do all that s^^t I wouldn't be doing what I do now! lol
I give him credit for getting financing for the movie.
Most of the performances were good, but to me, the story felt forced and contrived.
I don't know that he's got the writing chops to make a poignant film. I'd like to see him direct somebody else's screenplay, though. I think he can direct.
watching the movie right now on tv... damn the acting really is bad, I'm really annoyed by it, it's just so not convincing...
shareI loved Cameron Diaz in this film. She did bitchy well and delivered a few great smack downs ... "frankly Francis you need the practice!". Plus I thought she looked fabulous.
