Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
One of my all time favorites.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Anyone out there remember Ed Burns films? Well, to protect his feelings, I'm sure lots of you out there raised your hands.Ed Burns was the Irish Catholic Woody Allen of the 90s, and while he still makes movies, he's not in his heyday anymore. She's The One was his best film, in my opinion, and if you rent it, you'll get to see the young, promising actresses Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston, as well as Frasier's dad without his cane! (I told you this was a 90s flick) An Irish Catholic family with a gruff father, a particularly religious mother, and two competitive sons is thrown for a loop when both sons fall in love with the same woman. She's the one! The plot moves fast and has lots of twists along the way, and the 90s banter is priceless.I have a soft spot in my heart for this film, but I will admit it's a tad dated, so it would be best to put on your 90s goggles when watching it.
Dry as a bone relationships comedy ends up being too parched to produce the humour needed.Heavily reliant on good performances, the cast (including Ed Burns, Mike McGlone, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Anniston, Maxine Bahns and John Mahoney) do well, but there are no standouts.Writer-director Burns is unfortunately unable to endear us to any of his characters in "She's the One", so you won't care who ends up with whom.Super cool, trendy yet uninspiring 90's fare.Sunday, April 16, 2000 - Video
I didn't really know anything about this going in. That includes the fact that Burns had directed or done a script. He's pretty good, I'd give another one of his a chance. The plot is interesting and develops nicely throughout. This has quite fast pace, and at no point does it really seem to slow down, without being overwhelming in speed. The acting is marvelous, everyone hands in a solid performance. Dialog is clever and well-delivered. All of the writing is rather well-done, the story, the characters, etc. The parts are well-cast, they are all credible. This is very funny, and it doesn't particularly try too hard at getting laughs. Almost all of the humor lies in the snappy lines and exchanges. No one in this feels flat or overly perfect, they are all flawed in some way, and thus much easier to relate to. This is a nice, not too cutesy or predictable romantic comedy, with a little more of an attitude, without completely ceasing to fall into that genre. The language is relatively frequent, and definitely moderate to strong. Sexuality is mainly hinted at or mentioned, not seen. I recommend this to fans of those involved in making it. 7/10
i absolutely adore this movie. it's very cute, and the story line is pretty original. If you're looking for an Oscar-winning, thought-provoking intellectual film, like one other person obviously was, then you're an idiot and you should not have watched this movie in the first place. but Ed Burns is a very witty actor and I like his style in both acting and directing. quite a cast, too. the character Franny is extremely annoying, and the actor does a wonderful job of personifying the role. the love story is very cute for anyone who likes happy endings w/o tears, a la Elizabethtown. all around, i just love it. it's a great film to sit down to. kudos :)
