Growing up my dad had the soundtrack for this movie. I listed to it quite a bit and really grew to love Tom Petty's music. The other day I was shuffling through my soundtracks and found it again and decided to see if I could find the movie online.Sadly, the music seems to be the only good thing about the movie. The characters are either morose, malicious, or just maniacal. I couldn't relate to any of them.Do yourself a favor and just download the soundtrack off itunes or something.

While I can't say there's any real moral compass to the storyline (with everyone cheating on everyone else), if nothing else EDWARD BURNS can consider himself a Long Island Woody Allen--because the story told in brief vignettes is exactly the sort of tale that Allen likes to spin about ditsy relationships and dysfunctional human beings.It may lack the more subtle wit and dry humor found in some of Allen's works, but it's safe to say that if this had been penned by Allen Hollywood would be jumping all over it with awards.As it is, EDWARD BURNS as the older brother--a cabbie aptly described by another as probably the only English-speaking cab driver in the city of NY--is excellent, even if some of his motivations aren't crystal clear, like the casual decision to go to Paris with his girlfriend when both of them are clearly broke. MIKE McGLONE is fine as his financially solvent but mentally challenged brother who works on Wall Street but is hopelessly in love with a trashy blonde, CAMERON DIAZ, in another one of her bubble-gum roles.None of it rises above the level of a good TV script and the language is pretty salty throughout, dealing as it does with SEX almost exclusively. But Burns directs it at a good pace and it moves briskly to a satisfying conclusion which finds him reunited with his girlfriend after a series of misunderstandings.A pleasant way to spend an hour-and-a-half but don't expect anything great. Burns and McGlone were much better in THE BROTHERS McMULLEN the previous year.

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 :)

I don't know how I ended up with this movie, but I found a copy and decided to watch it after a boring day of work. Boy was I surprised.The story moves along at a fast pace with good editing. What I really loved about the movie were two things.. Firstly, the character development. Not much into the movie, you knew what each character was all about. This is a feat hard to achieve and kudos to Ed Burns for achieving it with this movie.Second.. and the more important thing that I liked about the movie.. The relationship between the family members.. basically the siblings and the father. It was realistic to some degree.. but also there was a special feeling of together-ness.Overall - this was a "different" romantic comedy.. with some really funny moments and a pretty unique story. It should be rated much higher than what it is.. and I would definitely suggest people to watch it!
