Critics' reviews

"A pleasant package then, easy on the eye, and gently charming but, like The Brothers McMullen, one which places Burns as a comfortable rather than cutting-edge moviemaker."

Caroline Westbrook: Empire
"A bland, so-so romantic comedy without the charm to see it through."

Derek Adams: Time Out
"The characters are generally unlikable, and only toward the end of the film do they begin to show any kind of depth."

Alison Macor: Austin Chronicle
"She's the One isn't slick, smooth or particularly good, and it offers only a perfunctory exploration of the human heart."

Mick LaSalle: SFgate
"Burns emphatically avoids sophomore slump with an inviting, ruefully funny film that lives up to his initial promise."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"Burns manages to take on a laundry list of touchy issues in a relatively frank, unflinching manner. His characters retain their dignity and integrity without false dramatic redemption."

Leonard Klady: Variety
