Peter's Friends

Peter's Friends is an English counterpart to the American film "The Big Chill". Peter and his friends from his youth have not seen each other for a long time, but Peter changes that when he invites them for a weekend at his country house, which he has just inherited.

Some things have changed since last time, and some are the same, but there are now more skeletons hidden in the cupboards than most had expected, so as the truths come out, the cosiness goes out of the window. For example, the writer Andrew, who has made a career in Hollywood, is apparently the epitome of success, but behind the glittering facade he is hiding a drinking problem and a shaky marriage to the TV star Carol, who suffers from bulimia.

The host Peter, however, is the one hiding the biggest secret.

Peter's Friends is witty, but now and then it is marred by a slightly too strained and farcical style of acting.
