Warning: Spoilers
JC is at the end of his Twenties and is living with his girlfriend Chloe in Cornwall.

Three of his friends from school show up, including Terry who is about to get married. While he is supposed to have the last good time in his life, Josh tries to figure out what type of music he likes, which is odd because he's a music producer, and Dean, who sells drugs on a regular basis, must face the fact that life is not one big party.

But JC has his own problems with Chloe: Will he stay with her and run a surfer coffee shop or travel around the world without her?

It's another Brit movie about life lessons, turning the dreaded thirty mark (which honestly, isn't that bad), and figuring your goal, or aim in life.

But wasn't everything that came out of Britain in the mid nineties about life changes and coming to terms with maturity?

We had This Life, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Game on, Cold Feet, and everything Richard Curtis did. This is just another in the long line of this sub genre, but we have the added bonus of a couple of surfing scenes.

Unfairly tagged as a Zeta Jones movie on initial release, Pertwee is brilliant, and outshines everyone else in the film. Zeta Jones is good, but she was still, ahem, riding the wave of The Darling Buds Of May.

Macgregor is as impressive as expected, but hey oh, when the US released the DVD, they tagged it as a film starring Macgregor, and Zeta Jones. Look at the DVD cover, it's blooming terrible.

Its ninety minutes of throwaway stuff, Agutter pops up in a bizarre cameo, and come the end, well, everyone has found themselves.

OK for people who like forgotten Brit movies.....l
