She's the One Reviews
I don't really like the story but it is well written.
no bra's, i rest my case, ok more seriously, it's not that bad, if there is nothing else, go for it
This is one romcom I come back to every now and then. It seems like a fluffy romance but it touches some serious stuff in a delicate, sweet way considering it's 30 years old. There's even the lesbian relationship, trace of incest, religion, prostitution. I really like Burns, I like his acting and enjoy him as a director. I think everyone was perfect for their parts except for the fabulous Aniston, who is much better than that poor empty whining part they gave her. Her peppy brilliance was wasted. She should have inverted the wives parts (Aniston as Hope). Loved the father and sons relationships. Yes, I will come back to it again and again.
This movie has a young Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston in it, and it's still unwatchable. A disjointed story with unlikable and unlikely characters.
A confusing drama surrounding failed relationships which gets a tad onerous trying to keep up at one stage. A few laughs here and there make it watchable.
A bittersweet rom-com that struggles to live up to great expectations, deciding too often to play it safe with the talented cast. Had the script offered more risk in development for its characters we might have seen the best from Jennifer Aniston or Cameron Diaz. There are enjoyable moments, albeit too much repetition for my taste. Nonetheless, will perhaps contribute at some point in the future as part of a time capsule for anthropological study on mid 1990's NY relationships, especially for Irish-Catholic Brothers.
I watched the whole thing. It was kind of funny watching it now versus 1996. I would say it works best as a period piece.
I love this movie. Great acting, clever script and dialogue with tangible characters. The father son and son relationship cracks me up.
The movie is fun to watch, it defiantly has the whole 90's movies feel to it. First it is full of actors that were popular in the 90s/2000s. Its also just a vibe I get from the movie.
A little slow at times, but ultimately, "She's the One" is another funny, bare-bones romantic dramedy by Edward Burns, director of the low-budget drama "The Brothers McMullen." Check it out, especially for Jennifer Aniston in a funny-as-hell performance and Cameron Diaz who is believably bitchy.
Written and directed by Edward Burns, who had made his debut as writer and director the year before with The Brothers McMullen (1995), which had been made for $23,000, but picked up by Fox Searchlight, who would produce his next film, which would go into production before The Brothers McMullen opened. It's a charming little romantic comedy-drama which is at heart about family pains and love. It focuses on two Irish-American brothers, Mickey (Burns) and Francis Fitzpatrick (Mike McGlone), who both have different lifestyles. Mickey is a taxi-driver, and non-plussed that his ex-fiancee Heather (Cameron Diaz) has cheated on him, while Francis works on Wall Street, and is married to Renee (Jennifer Aniston), but he's having an affair behind her back. After Mickey meets Hope (Maxine Bahns), a passenger in his cab, he marries her impulsively, and Francis becomes angry as he wasn't asked to be best man at the wedding, but Mickey and Francis' father Frank (John Mahoney) is on hand to give advice and support with their hardships in relationships. It's hardly original, but it has a ramshackle charm about it, a feelgood charm. It was intended as a direct sequel to The Brothers McMullen, but Burns decided against it. Burns has confidence as a director, but it's a shame his career didn't take off like predicted at the time. However, this has a nice score by Tom Petty.
Saw this because Tom Petty did the soundtrack. The casting was good and the dialogue was pretty sharp. A so-so movie overall; nothing particularly moving.
The films of Edward Burns are very earnest, romantic, and they try to encapsulate the lives of New Yorkers in the mid-nineties. There's definitely a lot to love about this film, from its interwoven characters and their love lives, to the harsh realities of love being splattered onscreen, to the slightly detestable and yet likable Heather, played by the very talented Cameron Diaz. Most of the character development was spot on, and yet the dialogue was littered with clichés, which is the most uninspiring thing about this film. If it weren't for the great performances from Diaz, Aniston, and Mahoney I wouldn't be toting those aspects, because without them the dialogue falls flat. Maxine Bahns, who was Burns' real life girlfriend at the time, is particularly stiff and there's no chemistry between her and Burns onscreen. By the end of the film little has been resolved and we're left with characters who aren't as complex as we had previously hoped.
Burns' best film is one of the under appreciated gems of the 90's, with brilliant dialogue and plenty pf laughs all the way through.
