Synopsis

Coming of age comedy / drama / romance, originally a stage play.  Frank leaves college, wondering what to do with his life.  His unemployed friend challenges him to a summer-long contest to see who can conquer the most young women, for which 'peaches' is London slang.  Life turns out to be more complicated than planned, leading Frank to reassess his priorities.

Reviewers' comments on the film and Kelly Reilly:

" The film ... has ... energy in abundance, with ... sparky dialogue given the full firecracker treatment by his small cast.   .... Kerry Reilly, an accomplished stage actress, is positively devilish as the admirer intent on getting a fearful Frank to settle down.  Production difficulties overcome, these performances - and a storming soundtrack - make it worth the effort. " - from Channel 4

"... a bit of a so-so film which first-time writer-director Nick Grosso enterprisingly got made with Irish investment ... " - from Peter Bradshaw , The Guardian.

"I always judge a movie like this by whether or not I'd like to hang out with the characters, and these guys were cool enough for me." - from Nada Mucho.
