She's the One




Edward Burns, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Mike McGlone, Maxine Bahns, John Mahoney

A romantic comedy about two brothers whose rivalry comes to the front when one of the brothers begins an affair with the other brother's ex-fiancee.  Brothers Mickey (Edward Burns), a New York cabbie, and Francis (Mike McGlone), a big-shot Wallstreet broker, Fitzpatrick both have beautiful wives, (Hope [Maxine Bahns] and Renee [Jennifer Aniston], respectively).  When it comes out that Francis is having an affair with Heather (Cameron Diaz), the rivalry between the two brothers heats up. The brothers, with the help of advice from their father (John Mahoney), comes to blows over Heather as each brothers' marriage suffer.

Aniston is enlightening as she learns of her husband's affair and Mahoney is a hoot dealing out misguided advice to his two sons.  Burns, who also directed, gives a delightful performance as he comes to terms with the heartbreak of his ex-fiancee and what it means for him and his new wife.  Diaz is the lovable woman who has the two brothers caught up against each other.
