Mickey - Ed Burns - is one year older than brother Francis, played by Michael McGlone. Now adults, they have had an unspoken rivalry since they were kids. At the film's beginning, it appears Fran has won. He's making big bucks on Wall Street and is married to beautiful Renee - Jennifer Aniston. Meanwhile, Mickey drives a taxi and a broken relationship still stings. But, appearances are deceiving. Fran is having an affair on the sly while Renee tries to rekindle their love until shes exhausted. The object of Fran's new passion is Heather - Cameron Diaz - his brothers ex flame. Suddenly, Mickey meets a lovely waitress Hope - Maxine Bahns - and elopes with her to Texas. Which brother will find true happiness ? This early film written and directed by the talented Ed Burns has the same sharp, witty and inciteful script as his others. The cast and costumes are also great. But, the story has a will he - wont he - pattern that repeats and repeats. Ultimately, the denouement falls a bit flat. Nevertheless, Burns work is always worthy of a look.
