...to play the part?
His extreme "gorgeousness" isn't obvious to me, nor did I think that he was the best-looking man in the room. And everyone in the movie acted like he was supposed to be the most handsome of them all by far.
From a dude2a woman:
Would U say the presence The Hamm Man set your bar(even if unconsciously)higher than usual? Ask only because I was under the impression that the fairer sex on average find Burns quite an Adonis.
Well, I wouldn't say that Jon Hamm is the most beautiful man either, but yeah, he is attractive. I'd say he and Burns are about the same level of attractiveness.
I think the technical term for Burns is yumm-mee.
shareHe's gorgeous. And he was the only true adult male in the film. He was the true family man, unfortunately divorced, helping out during the ski trip, staying behind to help the women take care of the kids... it was such a foreign concept to Jon Hamm's character that his wife started to cry and had to leave the room.
shareI didn't interpret it that way, but in any case, if they wanted his character to be perceived as someone who is absolutely out of everybody's league, they should have gotten someone who looks like Samantha's boyfriend Smith from Sex and the City (well, back in the day).

Smidge Beckhamish, wouldnt U say?
I wouldn't compare the two, Jason Lewis is a lot better-looking, IMO.
Or someone like that "Ken doll" from Chuck (Ryan McPartlin): http://funshare.me/celebrities/full/captain-america

How is this better? This is worse.
But Edward Burns looks like a very average Irish guy to me, nothing special.

Youre not an easy dame to make happy;putting my own powers of prescience to the test seemed like an amusing diversion. For the record, I believe I get the gist of your thought here;if pristine Calvin Klienesque beauty was what the makers were going for with this character,neither Burns nor any of the rest of the male cast fits the(billboard friendly)mold.

Burns is very good-looking, but he might not be your cup of tea. People's taste varies.
The point with the character wasn't so much that he was spectacularly handsome, it's that he was such a contrast to Adam Scott (who's an attractive man, but in a very different way, especially the character he played in this movie).
Burns is tall and robust, where Scott is short and slightly built. Burns is confident, masculine and rugged, where Scott is boyish and metrosexual almost to the point of being androgynous. Within the context of the movie, Burns' character is a grown man who wears his adulthood and his manhood very comfortably. Scott's character is another in a succession of never-grow-up males stuck in adolescence, the like of which features in every romcom Hollywood makes.

All of this. That's why I was disappointed that Adam Scott's character won out in the end.
Everyone in this movie (save for Adam Scott's eternal case of babyface)looks like an average 30-40 something adult. Ken Burns looks like a dad. A hot middle-aged dad. He looks like someone who that character would get together with. You have to take into consideration that everyone Julie dated before was a complete disappointment. To everyone he was a great catch. It also displays how people's judgments change as they get older. When they were 20, they wouldn't have thought twice about him. But they're older and the clock's ticking and blah blah blah.
*Insert witty line about lack of witty line HERE*
Are you serious? Ed Burns is gorgeous.
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
Ed Burns has always been very cute and handsome right from The Brothers McMullen. But what really makes me swoon about him is his voice. It is so sexy.
shareYoooooo...Burns was a total DILF in this movie.
