Synopsis
For self-possessed, thirtysomething singleton Leo (Kevin McKidd), life has its ups and downs. He may be fulfilled professionally, but on the personal level, he's pining for a new relationship. His free-spirited flatmate Darren (Tom Hollander), who's having a torid affair with estate agent Jeremy (Hugo Weaving), nags him to get out there and enjoy himself. His sassy neighbour Angie (Julie Graham) agrees.
When his friend and boss Adam (Christopher Fulford) invites Leo to join his men's support group, Leo surprises everyone, including himself, when he confesses that he fancies one of the group members, Brendan (James Purefoy). After a weekend in the woods, where the men search for their inner wild men, Leo embarks on a passionate affair with Brendan, who is in the middle of a break-up with his long term girlfriend Sally (Jennifer Ehle). Leo discovers that Sally is in fact his own ex-teenage-girlfriend from years before. Never simple and never dull, life for Leo and his friends takes a chaotic turn, with hilarious results.
Gay interest
At the suggestion of a straight friend, gay man Leo joins a men's group, where he causes some upsets by declaring his attraction to one of its members.
Personal review
A very funny and good movie. At times hilareous, quotes that you have to remember, good casting and excellent script. I absolutely recommend it.
Quotes
Darren: All relationships end. You either split up or you die.
Darren: [describing Jeremy] Seething animal passions about to erupt through the pie crust of decorum.
Leo: Who is it? Darren: I'm not sure, but his voice washed over me like a dark, powerful river.
Darren: Rub some compost in your face, straight boys love it.
