Brothers Mcmullen
Added 4/15/2009
Ed Burns made this film in a few weeks on a small budget but created a great little film that can be watched over and over again. I don't buy a large number of movies but this a keeper. Strong caracters that bring real life to three young New York brothers trying to get life sorted out and in the case of the eldest brother JACK , back on the right tract. True to life "brotherly love" prevails and romance developes without the film being corney.

Wonderful Film.
Added 7/14/2007
I love all of Ed Burns' films. This one is a must have
for your DVD collection. You really feel as though you
know the family in this film. It sweeps you right up and
keeps your attention until the end.

A good "How to" of Irish-Americans
Added 6/27/2007
I saw this movie when it first came out and liked how it was able to present Irish-American men in a different way than most Hollywood movies. For once, there wasn't the big fight scene, no "Danny Boy", no bad accents. Also, it presents soem of the same issues as the book "Limbo," namely guys who grow up blue collar but who end up in white collar jobs and how they still have blue collar values and thought processes and dealing with the people now referred to as "Bobos" ie: the upper middle and upper class with their code words and informal rules that most of don't have a clue about. I liked the movie and could definitely relate to many of the stories presented here.

I hate talk fests, especially this one....
Added 12/8/2006
I really don't like talky films. They are rarely cinematic, and just come across as an extended TV sitcom. The Brothers McMullen is just dull, dull, dull. The film is way too long, mainly because the conversations are just so BORING. Burns is a good actor, but he's not a very good director. He has no sense of composition. Burns is a poor man's Kevin Smith, in that Smith has no sense of composition either, but Smith's dialogue is much more livelier than Burns's ever will be (I'm not a huge Smith fan, either). I really don't understand why people loved this film as much as they did, and why critics acted like it was the Citizen Kane of its era. If you really want to see decent talkfests, watch Clerks or some of Richard Linklater's films. Richard's films do maintain interest because the talk is interesting at least (but not always successful). Don't waste your time.
