PeachesFrank (Matthew Rhys) is a twenty-something college drop-out that is content in slacking all summer. The only problem with that plan is that he has no money and no place to stay. Out of the goodness of his heart, or the need for a captive audience, his friend Pete (Matthew Dunster) offers up his spare room for the summer, rent free.

This in itself seems like a good thing, but along with feeling like a houseguest all the time, Frank is forced to watch the parade of anonymous conquests that Pete parades through the flat. Now, if only Frank can get himself motivated to do something… Well, that may be asking a bit much for this character. He has serious commitment issues.

The film is quite appealing in the way of a good cast, interesting and quirky characters, a good soundtrack and the struggles of the modern day twenty-something type. A light-hearted, no-brainer movie that will entertain you for an hour and a half…
