I'm not sure why I've rented this film 3 times in the last couple of years. The characters are well developed, Tom Petty's sound track is very good and there are the gorgeous gals of course (Diaz, Anniston, Bahns), but there's more to it. This is an excellent, but perhaps not classic, drama posing as a romantic comedy. It's about morality and responsibility in a time when there is no morality and responsibility.. about love and family in a time when the definition of these words has become blurred. It cuts pretty close to home at times.. and there are those beautiful women.

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 am a fan of Edward Burns' movies. For the most part I thought "She's the One" was an enjoyable film. However, there was some definite ups and downs: Ups: Characters and Acting. I really liked the characters in this film Hands down, my favorite was John Mahoney as the father. He was superb has an uber-Catholic Irish hard ass father with a soft spot for his boys. Maxine Bahns was absolutely beautiful and lovable in this film as well. I also really liked the brother relationship between Edward Burns and Mike McGlone. I also have a brother that is close an age and Burns did a really great job capturing the competitive nature between siblings.

Downs: Triteness. I could not watch this movie at some parts because of how cheesy some of them were. Burns did nothing to set "She the One" apart from every other 90's coming-of-age relationship film. While I thought there was some good dialogue, it could not save the film from becoming just another typical 90's dramatic comedy about relationships.

Although I did enjoy this movie and always put it on whenever it I see it on HBO, this is not Edward Burns' best film. Go see Brothers McMullen, Sidewalks of New York, and the Groomsmen for better Edward Burns films. And if you have some free time..."She's the One" will do OK.

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 is to be admired for directing this (in places) wonderful "slice of life", examining the intricacies of relationships, the ideas of romantic love and sibling rivalry. The family unit (Mike McGlone, Edward Burns, John Mahoney) is excellently conveyed. The father and younger brother (an impressive performance from both the actors) display (initially) a rampant misogynist, a far cry from the character Edward Burns plays.

The cast is rounded off with a very good Jennifer Aniston as the cheated-against wife, who has her "needs", not fulfilled sexually, a beautiful and contained Maxine Bahns and a vulnerable and (at the same time) brittle and almost defiant Cameron Diaz.

It's a good movie, with good acting, and good lines.As in all Romantic Comedies, the story is quite predictable. However, it's an engaging film, and involves the viewer.
