Ten years out of Cambridge, Peter Morton (Stephen Fry) invites his old college pals to a weekend reunion on his massive public estate. Old rivalries and dormant infatuations resurface among the guests, including sitcom writer Andrew (Kenneth Branagh); his actress wife, Carol (Rita Rudner); and his ex-lover, Maggie (Emma Thompson). American comic Rudner penned the funny, touching script with her husband, Martin Bergmann, who co-produced the film.
