She's the One - 4

Not as good as The Brothers McMullen(This is Edward Burn's first film), but also deals with some of the same questions, but with less insight. The characters are not likeable and so it is a good self esteem boast, but does not seriously engage one in insightful dialogue about things that matter. But that may be expecting too much from a romantic comedy, or maybe I shouldn't have seen it at the same time as Edward Burn's earlier film. It is also confusing about whether to grab what you have or try for the greener grass on the other side of the fence, when, in fact this dichotomy may be the problem.
