Trivia:
Edward Burns gave Robert Redford a tape of this film in a NYC elevator and begged him to watch it. Redford said that Burns looked like a panhandler. "I get that all the time, but I thought, what the hell, that's what it's all about." He watched it, liked it, and the film went on to win at Sundance. moreGoofs:

I think Edward Burns is a brilliant man - a genius. He has the ability to make great, touching movies about REAL characters, and the humor is never far away. This is a very funny movie, with some unforgettable scenes (e g: see the "Summary"). The actors do their jobs with a presence rarely seen on film. They never once overact, and everything they say or do seems natural.
There is one major flaw in the movie though, but I'm not going to give it away. I can say this though: It has something to do with the time.
I saw this one after I saw "She's the One" and there are some similarities. However, this doesn't effect either movie in a negative way. In fact; I love both of them equally. I just wish I could get hold of "No Looking Back". It hasn't been released here in Sweden yet (not even on video).
Well... anyway, if you for some reason haven't seen "The Brothers McMullen" - or "She's the One" for that matter - I suggest you run the the nearest video store right now and rent it (preferably both), or better yet: buy them!
