Editorial Review:
Mickey (Edward 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-fiancée 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.
Description of She's the One:
Following the success of his spunky, 1995 directorial debut, The Brothers McMullen, Edward Burns suffers a little sophomore slump with this comedy about a pair of rivalrous brothers who get into bizarre relationships with women in a fierce but immature pursuit of happiness. When they find they both have a complicated interest in the same woman (Cameron Diaz), things come to a head. The film is a little overwritten, undershot, bulky, slow, and static, but it is also funny and inventive--further proof that Burns knows his New York City beat as well as Woody Allen does. With Jennifer Aniston, Maxine Bahns, and John Mahoney. --Tom Keogh
She's the One Reviews:
She's The One 
2008-09-04 - Ed Burns is a brillant writer and this story is a classic about a close-knit family and their women. Intelligently told, it's a great story of a father and his two sons struggling to "do what makes them happy" against the realities of being involved with the opposite sex. Strongly recommend. Good story with some good humor mixed in.
IT'S ONLY ME, BUT: 
2008-06-01 - A LOVE TRIANGLE BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS AND ONE GIRL. ONE BROTHER IS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH THE OTHER BROTHERS EX-WIFE. WHERE THEIR ARE STILL FEELING INVOLVED WITH THE FIRST COUPLE. ONE BROTHER IS A TAXI DRIVER AND THE OTHER IS A LAWYER WITH MONEY. WHO WOULD YOU PICK? JM
Revenge is sweet
2008-04-12 - Let me just start by saying I love Edward Burns. He stars as Mickey, a man that has been lost since he caught his fiancee cheating on him and hasnt really moved on since the incident. Enter Hope, the girl he would meet as he was giving her a cab ride to the airport, and he would marry the same day, much to the dismay of his older brother. His older brother is a rich man working wall street, married to Jennifer Aniston, many things make him lucky, yet he competes with Mickey the entire movie. The father of the two irish boys has his own problems, like he doesnt allow women on his boat. The major problem between the two is the older more successful brother is cheating on his wife with Cameron Diaz, who turns out to be Mickey's old fiancee who cheated on him.
Not giving anything away, we realize all of this within the first little bit of the movie, but the brothers take awhile to put all the pieces together. The older brother realizes there are some things money cant buy, and that success doesnt necessarily come in the form of a larger paycheck.
Excellent movie, three beautiful women star in the movie, and are set to make an example of the brothers for their various indiscretions.
Great movie, definitly worth watching, also see the movie Beautiful Girls for the same idea of beautiful women teaching men what sometimes they may not be able to learn on their own.
Another great movie from Ed Burns.
2008-03-02 - I have seen this movie over and over. It's dry wit and warmth draw you in and it is a great movie for NYC lovers. A must have addition to your Burns library. He seems to always hit the mark.
Sibling Competition and its complicated triangles
2008-01-27 - Mickey and Francis are brothers in constant rivalry. Mickey drives a cab while Francis works on Wall Street and is married to his college sweetheart. When Mickey picks up passenger Hope he impulsively marries her within 24 hours and moves into her bohemian apartment in New York. Francis begins an affair with Heather, his brother's ex-fiancee who has a questionable past. The brothers get into a lot of squabbling and lose the women in their lives. Almost.
