    This is a very ?luvvy, darling? film but it has its genuine tender moments!
  • July 14, 2007
    Interesting relationships between old friends.
  • April 7, 2007
    Not bad. The acting is satisfactory for the most part, and good in Stephen Fry's case.
  • March 7, 2007
    I do not have the linguistic faculties to express how much I hate this film. Luvvy infested unfunny, pretentious crap.
  • September 14, 2006
    Great British variation on the The Big Chill.
  • September 13, 2009
    Great movie especially since most of the actors went to Cambridge University anyway. I think this movie started the careers of most of them in the US market.

    Peter invites his college friends over to his manor for a reunion, but it ends up proving to be a test of their relationships. I really enjoyed this film. It's a nice balance between comedy and drama, and it had a great soundtrack.

    It had been quite a long time since the last time I watched such a touching movie. Great story, outstanding actors, and the soundtrack... It makes you wish for a friendship like that.

    British version of "The Big Chill" - Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie - how could you go wrong with a cast like this ?!?!?
