FINNEGAN’S FOURSOME MOVIE REVIEW
From multi-hyphenate filmmaker Edward Burns comes Finnegan’s Foursome, a dramedy about a golf loving clan of Irish-Americans. Brothers Teddy (Brian d’Arcy James) and Freddy (Burns) and their respective grown children, Marie (Erica Hernández) and Frankie (Brian Muller) have traveled to the ancestral home of their recently deceased patriarch, James (Ian McElhinney) a professional golfer from whom they’ve inherited their love of the game, Ireland, and a competitive streak that borders on the unhealthy. James’ dying wish was for his ashes to be spread at four specific sites, and for his offspring to continue the tradition of the Finnegan’s Foursome, an annual golf tournament between Finnegan family members. In between rounds of golf, the Finnegans will mourn, tempers will flare, and grievances will be aired; all set against the backdrop of some of the most beautiful golf courses Ireland has to offer. Our reviewers Frank, Eoin, and Marco provide commentary from the sidelines, but they have no intention of whispering their thoughts about the film. Listen to their review to find out if Burns’ latest is a hole-in-one or a swing and a miss.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“I’m not a film critic. I just play one on the Internet.”
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
