Le soir du nouvel an 1982, Peter et ses amis tentent d'animer un dîner pour le moins formel où des invités très élégants ne s'amusent pas du tout. Dix ans plus tard, Peter hérite du domaine familial et se trouve désemparé par la mort de son père. Désireux de retrouver la chaleur et la fraternité qu'il connut avec ses amis, il décide de convier pour le réveillon du nouvel an ses anciens camarades d'université. (texte officiel du distributeur)

An interesting group of friends, along with some partners, gather at Peter's estate for New Year's Eve. It's the kind of gathering that every psychiatrist dreams about; they could build a clientele to last them until retirement. The movie boasted some stellar performances, even though the plot wasn't as good. However, the dialogue and the good old English humor kept that fourth star shining. Beyond the cast and the positives mentioned earlier, I was captivated by the fictional dresser, the exhausted Brian constantly delivering exhausting humor, and the opening cabaret number that would leave the current champions of gender equality from the European Union and the United Kingdom in awe. Peter's friends remained my friends even on a rewatch, and catching up with them again brought me joy. / Lesson learned: Watch out for giant snowmen. They like to strike back.
