| | | A romantic comedy about two brothers...and the one thing that came between them.
Features: DVD
Filmmaker and star Edward Burns follows his acclaimed film debut, The Brothers McMullen, with this equally fresh, funny and wry romantic comedy about two brothers wrestling with their preposterous approaches to life and love. Mickey (Burns), a free-spirited New York cabbie, and Francis (Mike McGlone), a materialistic Wall street stockbroker, are extremely competitive and confused about women as a result of their father's (John Mahoney) influence. Though they disagree about nearly everything, they have one thing in common: Mickey's ex-fiancee Heather (Cameron Diaz) is Francis's secret lover. Though both brothers have beautiful wives (Maxine Bahns and Jennifer Aniston), Heather triggers their longtime sibling rivalry with uproarious and unexpected results.
"Marvelously sly...irresistible!" Richard Schnickel, Time Magazine
"A knock-out! A wow of a romantic comedy." Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Editor's Note
A pair of brothers--one a cabdriver, the other a Wall Street bigwig--try to work out the kinks in their relationships with their wives, their mistresses (at least one of them), their father, and, ultimately, each other. SHE'S THE ONE is a charming romantic comedy from the director of THE BROTHERS McMULLEN, with a soundtrack by Tom Petty.
Plot Summary
The lives--and relationships--of married brothers Mickey and Francis Fitzpatrick are disrupted by the presence of Heather, Mickey's ex-girlfriend. Heather has just reentered Mickey's life, but at the same time she's sleeping with Francis. Romantic entanglements, marital woes, and sibling rivalries result...and teach the brothers Fitzpatrick a few things about the game of life.

"...A funnier, more polished variation on actor/director Ed Burns' THE BROTHERS MCMULLEN..." -- 3 out of 4 stars 08/23/1996 p.8DVariety
"There's charm to burn in SHE'S THE ONE....[It is] endowed with a refreshing honesty and poignancy..." 08/12/1996 James Berardinelli's ReelViews 5 of 10
I'm sure there's an interesting story of sibling rivalry somewhere in "She's the One", but Burns has cluttered it up with so much artificiality that it never gels. Who really cares whether Francis and Mickey make peace with each other, or who ends up with what girl? If these things mattered to us, "She's the One" would have been a success, but since they don't, it isn't. Since New York only needs one Woody Allen, maybe for his next film, Burns will try stretching his thematic and geographical boundaries. Otherwise, his promising film making career may already be in trouble. - James Berardinelli
Chicago Sun-Times 5 of 10
If Burns wants to continue at the helm, however, I hope he expands his reach. By that I don't mean abandoning his Irish-American world view and the characters he finds there, but deepening and pushing and testing. ``She's the One'' plays like an overhaul of ``The Brothers McMullen'' with a larger budget, and it's time for him to move on. - Roger Ebert
