Owen Gleiberman

Every actor registers...In a film of minor ambition, they're all worthy company. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The Groomsmen captures a single, specific moment, when responsibilities await but adulthood is still unwelcome. If their predicament strikes a chord, you may want to join Burns' boys for their final hurrah. Read full review

Peter Rainer

As a writer-director, Edward Burns is as industrious as an occupational therapist. He makes sure each of his people is well positioned for happiness. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Burns' always impressive sense of place lends authenticity to the pals' perambulations, and the stellar cast brings a welcome overabundance of personality to regrettably one-note roles. Read full review

One might think that having these multi roles might spread his talent too thin (or like the proverbial jack of all trades make him a master of none) but not so in this case. Mr. Burns excels in each assignment. The "The Groomsmen" was written, co-produced, directed and stars Edward Burns. One might think that having these multi roles might spread his talent too thin (or like the proverbial jack of all trades make him a master of none) but not so in this case. Mr. Burns excels in each assignment. The film also has a supporting cast consisting of Brittany Murphy, Jay Mohr (who overacts more than is needed), and John Lequizano. Although similar to prior films by Mr. Burns involving thirty something types and relationships among them, this film highlights his acting, writing and directorial abilities equal to or above anything he… Expand
