What critics compared The Brothers McMullen to
Witness Edward Burns' The Brothers McMullen, She's the One and The Sidewalks of New York, Jill Sprecher's 13 Conversations About One Thing, Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's Kissing Jessica Stein, or just about anything directed by the unofficial chronicler of black Yonkers, Spike Lee.
Worse, Duffy suggests some Brundlefly splice of Tarantino and another key influence on Sundance-era filmmakers, Edward Burns: The Boondock Saints is like a head-on collision between Pulp Fiction and The Brothers McMullen , making the film the perfect all-purpose bookend for the independent cinema of the nineteen-nineties.
