It's been ten years since an eccentric yet devoted group of friends graduated from college, and they've reunited at a grand English manor in the countryside to ring in the New Year in style. But when the drinks start flowing, and their inhibitions are stripped away, it isn't long before this close-knit crew find themselves caught up in an unexpected melee of mishaps and misunderstandings that will soon test the very limits of love, sex, and friendship itself.

After his father's death, the grieving Peter (Stephen Fry) invites a group of college friends, who have been separated for 10 years, to a New Year's Eve reunion at his English countryside estate. In scenes by turns funny and sad, they talk over old times, reassess their life choices, and finally come together to help each other through an unexpected crisis. Kenneth Branagh's ensemble comedy is punctuated by a classic rock soundtrack that recalls the chums' university days. A witty, heartwarming film, PETER'S FRIENDS includes fine performances by Branagh, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton, and Rita Rudner.
