I'm a big Ed Burns fan. This movie is boring. Constant F-words throughout-especially the softball scene. Terrible acting and very unmemorable. Sidewalks of NY and Purple Violets are much better. Burns' worst movie.... Full review

Excellent writing and acting more than compensate for any failure to create a nitty-gritty reality. Emotional truth, which this film has in abundance, is what really matters to me. The one moment that doesn't ring true for this Bronx girl, is... Full review

I had a great time with the part of Jimbo [in The Groomsmen ].
With more than 60 film and TV roles to his credit, including this months The Groomsmen , written and directed by pal Ed Burns, Logue is proving that he is a leading mans worst nightmarea rare character actor who, even in the smallest of parts and armed only with wit and charm, can upstage the star.
