Four Mothers, an upcoming Irish comedy, is set to hit our screens soon, and we’ve finally gotten a glimpse of what’s in store thanks to the release of a brand-new trailer.
The new film from A Date for Mad Mary director Darren Thornton will open in cinemas on Friday 4 April and “tells the story of Edward (James McArdle), a novelist saddled with caring for his elderly mother (Fionnula Flanagan) who finally finds himself on the brink of literary success.
“Busy with the demands of his upcoming book tour, the last thing Edward needs is his friends leaving their mothers on his doorstep as they head off on an impromptu Pride holiday!” the synopsis adds.

Taking to Instagram, Rory shared his excitement stating: “Really delighted to be in this gorgeous funny charming heartfelt movie coming to cinemas soon.
Unfortunately, I don’t think my wife and kids made the final cut but they are my whole world – at least till I meet the right fella.”
The film has already won the Audience Award for Best Feature at the BFI London Film Festival in October, so safe to say we’re expecting big things.
