Plot:
Edward Burns's debut film as an actor-director makes a virtue of its limited budget in the same way John Sayles's The Return of the Secaucus 7 did in 1980. Stuck with limited technical means, B...( read more

MCT:April 12, 2008Didn't make either of my lists - best I've ever seen or worst I've ever seen. Couldn't get a spot on most mediocre either.
I didn't dislike it. Not exactly. But I didn't really like it either. These guys are some of the worst humanity has to offer where relationships and committment to females are concerned. But as brothers, I was impressed with the interplay and the way they had each other's backs. I have 8 sons so I've seen what real brothers do, especially if there are more than two of them. That part of this movie was real for me so I liked it. I just didn't care for the way they kept dickin' around with the women that SHOULD have been important to them!
Most guys will probably like and relate to this movie. Most women probably will not like the storyline. Take your chances and make your own choice about this one ~ -

This film is very well written - in that it probably makes a good read. Like Kevin Smith material, I'm not sure it translates so well to the screen. Still, I enjoyed it. The banana scene is priceless.

MCT:November 29, 2007Ed Burns first and best movie. Maybe because it's before he started getting casted in big hollywood movies or sleeping with actresses, but this is when his vision seemed more real. This is a movie about relationships, and it is FAR more real....and yet funny at times....than most Hollywood made movies on the subject.

Even though this was an independent, low-budget darling, I thought it was just a so-so movie. I guess I need more intelligent conversation than what this film offered.

MCT:June 22, 2007Ed Burns. Yuck. Another director who people never seem to notice CAN'T DIRECT ACTORS. (See also: Smith, Kevin)

A great writing debut for Burns. Nice dialogue. The banana scene is definitley memorable, bookbat. I wonder if the older folks get, the more sobering this movie might become. I'd love to see more from Jennifer Jostyn and Maxine Bahns.

MCT:April 7, 2006I love this movie. "Man is like a banana," hehe. I know it is an older film, but I think it is brilliant. Three irish brothers reflect on the death of their father, religion, and relationships as they are reunited for their father's funeral. They each separately find a way to live a little more, and it is great.
