The tortuous realities of British film financing result in some curious anomalies, like the fact that this Camden-based comedy, adapted from a play first presented at London's Royal Court Theatre, was shot almost totally in Dublin. But then this is par for the course for writer-director Nick Grosso, born in London to Argentinian parents of Italian and Russian extraction.
Frank (Matthew Rhys) is an unemployed slacker fresh out of college with no idea what to do with his life. His solution is to spend the summer drifting around aimlessly with his no less motivated friends devoting all his energies to the opposite sex. Sooner or later, though, Frank will have to grow up and find a job - especially if he wants a lasting relationship with his latest conquest, Cherry (Kelly Reilly).
Grosso's 1994 play was notable for giving an early role to Ben Chaplin, who proceeded to Hollywood success in "Lost Souls" and "The Thin Red Line". But you can't imagine the film version doing much good for Rhys and the rest of the young cast.
This is British cinema at its least remarkable - a small-scale comedy of manners whose lack of momentum and ambition infuriatingly mirrors that of its underachieving anti-hero.
Fitfully amusing in parts, the absence of genuine wit and insight will no doubt consign "Peaches" to the mounting pile of homegrown flicks that come and go without making so much as a ripple on the domestic box office.
