CGiii Comment
Quintessentially English...tortured by an American perspective.
A straight male bonding group?!? In the UK?!?
Credibility is stretched to breaking point.
It is well-acted in an overwrought way but with all the dreadful & unnecessary dream scenes and the stereotypes - the integrity of the piece diminishes with every passing minute.
Some excuses may have been possible if this had been funny...but, it is far from it - ultimately, it is offensive JUNK.

The(ir) Blurb...
Keith runs a male bonding group, which was meant to be macho fun, but acts as therapist as dreaded-unmanly emotional and even relational problems prove unavoidable. Openly gay Leo is delighted to find hunky, straight Brendan is a closet-bi and becomes his lover. Things risk ending ugly as it turns out Brendan's girlfriend is Leo's school ex and still able to seduce him.
