The budgets for Ed Burns movies got so low that this one looks like a lush production. It's full of familiar faces like John Leguizamo, Jay Mohr, Matthew Lilliard, Brittany Murphy. There's Irish American accent acting going on.
It's about people being angsty at 35. Burns is getting married to Murphy and his mates are being blokey about it. One is gay, another is infertile. Brittany Murphy has a thankless part as Burns' fiancee who hangs around pregnant. She whinges a bit that Burns doesn't show her any romance and eventually he does. That's her arc. Heather Burns is married to Donal Logue. She worries and whines and that's her arc.
Meatiest part is from Donal Logue as the infertile angry man who is rather relentlessly fat shamed.
Amiable, for the most part. Good actors.
