She's the One - Eine fürs Leben

A beautiful woman gets into Ed Burns' cab, and asks him to drive her to New Orleans. What guy wouldn't relate to this fundamental fantasy? This is a guy's movie. It has brilliant observations on the love-hate relationship between brothers, and also on the Irish-American family. "You don't even believe in God," Ed Burns says to his sermonising father. "That doesn't mean I can't be a good Catholic," his father replies. There are countless twists, and countless funny lines. Ed Burns is some kinda genius. A fabulous, truthful, instant-favourite movie.

This movie is all about great interaction between Ed Burns, Mike McGlone, and John Mahoney. The dialogue between them is perfect. Cameron Diaz is absolutely beautiful, but I wish there would have been more scenes between her and Ed Burns. I liked this film far more than The Brothers McMullen, and I'm expecting great things from Mr. Burns in the future.

I really enjoyed this movie. Edward Burns was great in it and it made me want to find out more about him. This movie is so funny, I laughed out loud many times, The dialog is great and very true to life. I really cared about the characters and what would happen to them. Cameron Diaz is also in this movie and she is really good. Go see it- it's a feel-good movie with depth.

I can't believe this movie has only a 6 rating. I thought it was entertaining as all hell and John Mahoney would be worth the whole movie, but doesn't need to be as all the other characters come through vibrantly. The relationship between the brothers is great, so textural, and Jennifer Aniston is priceless. But still in all, I go back to John Mahoney and the subplot between him and his wife (who we never actually see). That entire scenario was priceless and hysterical.

A great film that shows Ed Burns really is a talent as a writer and director. I give it a much higher rating then what it ranks at as a whole right now.

Edward Burns second film, "She's the One", is one to be watched again and again and again. The majority of the film critics felt that Burns did not make a new movie with "She's the One" but merely an extension of "The Brothers McMullen", on the contrary. "She's the One" is a witty, interesting comedy about the problems that men face with the women in their lives. The more you watch this movie the more you will appreciate it. Edward Burns really stands out as an extraordinary actor.
