This heartfelt labor of love (shot on weekends over eight months) was one of 1995's sweetest Cinderella stories. It won the Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and enjoyed crossover success outside the arthouse circuit. Ed Burns, a former Entertainment Tonight production assistant, directed, stars in and wrote this slice of life comedy about three Irish brothers and their tangled relationships with women. A clever script, with engaging performances by the amateur cast, but you're not alone if you can't help but wonder why all the fuss. An optional purchase. (D. Liebenson)
