Summary
Edward Burns writes, directs, and stars in 'Finnegan's Foursome,' a comedic-dramatic film about golf now on VOD. The review criticizes the film for its banal dialogue and over-reliance on golf sound effects, noting that the THWUPP of club hitting ball is more evocative than the script. The reviewer admits they are not a golf fan, which colors their perspective, but ultimately finds the film dull and unengaging.
