VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Deebee Daydreamer (deebeeinthesky) This has to be one of the most boring movies I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. There's not one remotely interesting or likable character.No one in front of the camera makes the slightest bit of effort, and the direction is shoddy as well. I was shocked to later find out it's supposed to be a "comedy" drama seeing as there were absolutely no laughs at all. I have no idea why I stuck it out until the end, I thought there'd be some kind of redeeming quality in it; guess what: no.I wonder if everyone was riding on the popularity of 'Friends' and 'Frasier' to get tickets moved, and then they were hardly in it. It's definitely not the first or last movie to pull that kind of stunt.I bought this in a charity shop (mainly because of Jennifer and Cameron) I don't even want to take it back and subject any other poor unsuspecting soul to this disaster of a yawn-filled-nothing.I feel I should find at least one redeeming quality to be fair. Both taxi scenes were kind of sweet and/or interesting.I would not recommend this to my worst enemy.

SnoopyStyle Mickey Fitzpatrick (Edward Burns) drives a cab in NYC. His brother Francis (Michael McGlone) is working Wall Street making loads of money. His father (John Mahoney) and brother is worried about him since the 'hairy ass' incident where he finds his fiancée Heather (Cameron Diaz) with a guy on his apartment floor. Mickey picks up a fare named Hope (Maxine Bahns) who he ends up marrying impulsively after only a few days. Francis is in an unhappy marriage with Renee (Jennifer Aniston) and cheats with Mickey's ex Heather.Writer/director Edward Burns tries to make a big move up after the success of his indie debut. There are lots of great up and coming actresses. The problem is that he picks his girlfriend as the lead. Other than Aniston, nobody has truly made it big back then but the difference is already foreseeable. There are four future stars and he picks the one that would never make it big. As for the story, it's trying to be talkative, profound and insightful. The most compelling character happens to be the douche brother Francis. He may as well be the actual central character. Maybe if there is a better Hope, Mickey's relationship could be more interesting.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I didn't really know anything about this going in. That includes the fact that Burns had directed or done a script. He's pretty good, I'd give another one of his a chance. The plot is interesting and develops nicely throughout. This has quite fast pace, and at no point does it really seem to slow down, without being overwhelming in speed. The acting is marvelous, everyone hands in a solid performance. Dialog is clever and well-delivered. All of the writing is rather well-done, the story, the characters, etc. The parts are well-cast, they are all credible. This is very funny, and it doesn't particularly try too hard at getting laughs. Almost all of the humor lies in the snappy lines and exchanges. No one in this feels flat or overly perfect, they are all flawed in some way, and thus much easier to relate to. This is a nice, not too cutesy or predictable romantic comedy, with a little more of an attitude, without completely ceasing to fall into that genre. The language is relatively frequent, and definitely moderate to strong. Sexuality is mainly hinted at or mentioned, not seen. I recommend this to fans of those involved in making it. 7/10

greg cervantes This is definitely one of my favorites! Very funny, Very well done. was laughing throughout the movie..especially the "family matter" backyard boxing! Hilllarious! Other favorite scenes include, Jennifers family discussion about the possibility of her husband being GAY!, " Ecxuse me!, My husband is not Gay" she exclaimes!. "You know he does wear that cologne" her Dad says. Great scene. Also... the Limo ride with the butler... "its a new day my man", "Today is the first day of my new life" "how do I look?"And... as he exclaims to Cameron Diaz "Maybe he loves you because your young blonde and beautiful and he's got one foot in the grave!" as he describes "grandpa".
