    Editorial Reviews

    With this charming 1995 comedy -- produced with limited resources and shot on locations in and around his parents' Long Island home -- first-time director Edward Burns proved that filmmakers don't need big stars or an extravagant production to create a memorable movie. Burns, who also wrote the screenplay, cast himself as one of three Irish-American brothers (Jack Mulcahy and Mike McGlone play the others) whose recently widowed mother cheerfully abandons her sons to set off for parts unknown with her new lover. The siblings aren't sure about the other women in their lives, either: a restive Mulcahy contemplates cheating on wife Connie Britton, nervous McGlone questions his engagement to fiancée Elizabeth McKay, and Burns resists committing to a long-term relationship with girlfriend Maxine Bahns (at that time the director's offscreen girlfriend). Burns adopts a minimalist visual style, letting his amiable characters and naturalistic dialogue carry the story in an almost off-hand manner. Refreshing in its simplicity, The Brothers McMullen doesn't break any new ground, but Burns manipulates long-standing movie conventions with deceptive ease and gives them a distinctive Noo Yawk spin. He provides a detailed commentary for the DVD, which also offers trailers, interactive menus, and scene-selection features in addition to both widescreen and pan-and-scan versions of the film Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
