Ed Burns likes to make movies where characters wonder about "the one who got away". It's central to She's The One, No Looking Back and this one, where Selma Blair wonders about her ex, Patrick Wilson, while her bestie, Debra Messing, has feelings for her ex, Edward Burns.
There's also a lot of talk about artistic integrity and being true, and not selling out.
It's a slow amble. People hang out in kitchens, at diners, and chat. Lots of pouring glasses of wine, With the Irish American background downplayed Burns' voice feels less sure.
I didn't mind it. It passed over me amiably. I think I have nostalgia for that plotless 90s movie making.
