Critics Consensus

A relationship comedy that errs on the side of slick, She's The One is a perfunctory study of machismo from a very male perspective.

Caroline Westbrook

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Variety

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. It's a true adult saga.

Time Out

A bland, so-so romantic comedy without the charm to see it through.

…She’s The One is so firmly focused on the men that the female characters are treated abysmally…

She's the One is the perfect dating movie for those who are well over puberty and are out there on the front lines.

One of my all time favorite movies. Great acting, great cast. The small independent type of movie that is lacking today. Edward Burns is brilliant.

This is one romcom I come back to every now and then. It seems like a fluffy romance but it touches some serious stuff in a delicate, sweet way considering it's 30 years old. There's even the lesbian relationship, trace of incest, religion, prostitution. I really like Burns, I like his acting and enjoy him as a director. I think everyone was perfect for their parts except for the fabulous Aniston, who is much better than that poor empty whining part they gave her. Her peppy brilliance was wasted. She should have inverted the wives parts (Aniston as Hope). Loved the father and sons relationships. Yes, I will come back to it again and again.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie has a young Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston in it, and it's still unwatchable. A disjointed story with unlikable and unlikely characters.
