When he becomes engaged to his girlfriend of eight months, Peter, a mild mannered estate agent, realises that he has no close male friends and certainly none close enough to ask to be his best man; and so, under the advice of his younger brother, he sets off on a series of man dates in the hope of solving his apparent problem, in Hamburg’s generally entertaining and certainly rather original take on the rom-com, which is let down somewhat by some typical final act silliness.
