It's easy to see what attracted Redford to Burns' first film. Burns' dialogue is natural and witty. Burns films with the gritty immediacy of a documentary, slipping a boom mic above backyard conversations over beers.

Straight-talking, romantic yet unsentimental, it's the kind of comedy we wish Woody Allen still made.

...Ardent, affecting and wonderfully funny...

Rating: 2/4 --
The acting and scripting are too uneven for either the drama or the comedy to gather much steam.

A good Movie of the Week. Engaging, a bit soapy, but with real circumstance & intelligent/plausable chat. However, tidies up too neatly in the end.

...Quietly fascinating....The movie brings into focus how rare religion and spirituality are in American films...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
This is not a "religious" film, and the brothers are far from saints. But they know right and wrong, and in their imperfect ways they are struggling to attain a state of grace. Sometimes they slip. Sometimes they don't struggle so hard. Life's like that.

Product Description:
Three Irish-Catholic brothers living in Long Island--a "serious" Catholic worried about his relationship with a Jewish woman, a steadfast husband having an affair, and a commitment-phobe being pressured by a girlfriend--talk over their romantic entanglements. The 27-year-old writer-director-producer-star, Ed Burns, won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for this debut.
