Rating: Summary: One of the best movies I have ever seen Review: "She's the One" is a classic, the script is funny and real. In addition, the whole cast do a great job acting in the film. I highly recommend this movie.
Rating: Summary: oh peelllllleaaase! Review: a gorgeous young woman gets into a thirty-something loser cab driver's cab and a day later marries him. Huh? Can't he come up with something better than THAT? It seems like a high school masturbation fantasy.
Rating: Summary: Good stuff, people! Review: Clever story, good acting, funny dialogue, and some personal relationship situations that hit the fan big time. This is a thinking person's movie. You want R-rated action and volence, go to the B-movie section of your video store. I enjoyed the characters in this twisted little comedy a lot.
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly Entertaining Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Not a bad rainy afternoon rental Review: I just rewatched this recently after seeing it when it first came out. Some of the acting is downright bad, and Jennifer Aniston (who gives one of the better performances) plays the same character she always plays, but it's an interesting story, and great soundtrack.
Rating: Summary: It's one of the funniest romantic comedies I've ever seen! Review: I love going to the movies and watching videos. I thought I had seen it all. But, "She's the One" exposed me to a level of elation I've never experienced. My friends and I watched it nearly four times. It's one of the best movies ever made.
Rating: Summary: Great Film Review: I saw this movie before I saw Brother's McMullen and instantly fell in love with it. Its simply a great film from start to finish. Wonderfully written. Ed Burns really knows how to write for a variety of characters. A great movie that can be viewed on different levels. Very funny at times. Some of the dialouge is just hilarious (see any scene w/ John Mahoney). Also a very serious movie about relationships. Ed Burns doesn't let us down in this one. Great cast of characters as well with an excellent soundtrack by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Rating: Summary: Great cult classic Review: It's a great story that is just off the mainstream radar screen. Ed Burns is so cool, but could be any joe random on the street, despite being the only English-speaking cabbie in NY. The dialouge is genuine and it's not your typical love triangle. It's really about what we want and realizing that it's different for everyone. John Mahoney is excellent in a character-actor role.
Rating: Summary: Borrrrring Review: 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.
