The Groomsmen

A groom and his four groomsmen wrestle with issues such as fatherhood, honesty and growing up in the week leading up to his wedding. The movie was written & directed by Edward Burns so if you like The Brothers McMullen & She's the One then you will enjoy this movie.

Paulie (Edward Burns) is getting ready to marry his girlfriend Sue (Brittany Murphy) who is 5 months pregnant. Paulie's older brother Jimbo (Donal Logue) who is the best men keeps telling Paulie that it is a big mistake marrying Sue because they will turn into his life in a loveless marriage.

Meanwhile T.C. (John Leguizamo) a friend of Paulie's comes back to town after disappearing for 8 years with no explanation. T.C. has to deal with Paulie & Jimbo's cousin, Mike (Jay Mohr) and the repercussions of T.C. leaving and the fact when T.C. left he stole Mike's Tom Seaver baseball card.

The only content member of the group is Dez (Matthew Lillard) who is happily married and has two wonderful sons. Dez's job is to try and keep the peace between the brothers & friends.

This movie was your typical Ed Burns movie. There were lots of dialogue and deep bonds between family & friends. There is also the ignorance in men that comes out in every movie. I was also confuse with how old these guys were supposed to be. In real life Ed Burns is 39 but in the movie the older brother said he was 35 so that meant Ed Burns character was around 33. Yeah he wishes....I think it would have been OK to play his real age but you know actors. I give this movie 6 out of 10.
