Additional InformationFour suicidal strangers find support in the last place they ever expected to in this emotionally charged comedy-drama based on the novel by Nick Hornby. It's New Year's Eve in London, and disgraced television personality Martin (Pierce Brosnan) is about to take a flying leap off of Topper's Tower when he's interrupted by Maureen (Toni Collette), a lonely single mother who's reached the end of her rope. Meanwhile, as the pair realise their suicide plans have overlapped, onto the rooftop dashes Jess (Imogen Poots), a rebellious teen with nothing left to live for. Just when it seems this despairing group can't possibly get any bigger, rocker-turned-pizza delivery driver J.J. (Aaron Paul) shows up with a fresh pie and a death wish. Rather than taking the plunge together, the unlikely foursome decide to put their plans off until Valentine's Day -- sticking together and supporting one another in the interim. Later, as their friendship deepens, their unusual pact stirs a media firestorm. Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike co-star.

  • A real gem of a film

    This is an excellent comedy with a distinctly British sense of humour which recounts the interactions of several would-be suicides who accidentally meet when they all decide to end it all at the same location. Beneath the comedy are some marvellous vignettes of the characters and what drives them. The psychology of the characters is superbly and realistically explored but in a sensitive and light-hearted way. A real gem of a film. Highly recommended.
