Ed Burns burst onto the movie scene in 1995 as the writer, director and star of The Brothers McMullen, but he’s never really fully capitalised on the promise he showed there. However Newlyweds has been billed as a bit of a return to form, and indeed was chosen as the closing night film of the Tribeca Film Festival. In the film, Buzzy (Edward Burns) and Katie (Caitlin FitzGerald) are a newly married couple living a seemingly conflict-free life. But when Buzzy’s damaged and impulsive half-sister Linda (Kerry Bishe) arrives at their doorstep expecting to stay for an indefinite period in their Tribeca loft, her antics threaten to disrupt the couple’s commitment to an “easy” marriage. Meanwhile, with Katie’s sister Marsha projecting suspicions of her own husband’s infidelity onto Buzzy, will the couple’s formerly trusting and insulated life be able to withstand the dysfunctions of their respective siblings? No UK release date is currently set.
