As with Sidewalks of New York, he wrote, directed, produced and starred in The Brothers McMullen, which was shot on a budget of $25,000 and went on to gross over $10 million at the box office, making it pound-for-pound the most profitable film of its year. His other features include the romantic comedy She's The One, starring Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston and the intimate drama No Looking Back, co-starring Lauren Holly and Jon Bon-Jovi. In conjunction with the release of No Looking Back, Hyperion Press published Three Screenplays by Edward Burns.
