Impish Darren (Tom Hollander) urges lonely Leo (Kevin McKidd of Trainspotting) to get a more active social life, as does neighbor Angie (Julie Graham). When friend Adam (Christopher Fulford) gets Leo to join the therapy group run by New Age-styled guru Keith (Simon Callow), Leo meets good-looking Irishman Brendan (James Purefoy), who's just ending a lengthy relationship with his business partner, Sally (Jennifer Ehle). Sally just happens to be Leo's high-school sweetheart. It's not long before Leo and Brendan pair off. Shown in the Market section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
While not a sophomore jinx, this serio comedy about the fluidity of sexual identity among a group of youngsters is a disappointing follow-up to Troche's brilliant debut the lesbian comedy Go Fish, lacking focus and style.
-
Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International
Its comedic approach is sledgehammer-subtle, with music slathered on to further force-feed the levity.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
More than lives up to the promise Troche showed in Go Fish.
-
Arthur Lazere, culturevulture.net
a feather-light romantic comedy of considerable charm
