Blue-collared Mickey drives a New York taxicab since the breakup with his promiscuous ex-fiancée Heather two years ago. His younger, white-collared brother, Francis, cannot let Mickey forget the tragedy of the "hairy ass": (Mickey's image of his apartment floor of the guy having sex with Heather after walking in on them).

I can't believe this movie has only a 6 rating. I thought it was entertaining as all hell and John Mahoney would be worth the whole movie, but doesn't need to be as all the other characters come through vibrantly. The relationship between the brothers is great, so textural, and Jennifer Aniston is priceless. But still in all, I go back to John Mahoney and the subplot between him and his wife (who we never actually see). That entire scenario was priceless and hysterical.
A great film that shows Ed Burns really is a talent as a writer and director. I give it a much higher rating then what it ranks at as a whole right now.
