Tamara Drewe

Movie: Tamara Drewe

Cast: Gemma Arterton, Roger Allam, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans

Genre: Comedy

I saw it on: October 24, 2010

Synopsis: Tamara Drewe returns to her childhood home to go through her recently-deceased mother’s home.  While there, she re-kindles (or almost re-kindles) a romance with her old flame, Andy.  Down the road from her house, is a writer’s colony where Andy works.  To put it mildly, the people in the writer’s colony are a bit quirky.  The movie follows Tamara as she goes from one guy to the next, trying to find what she needs. 

My two cents: This movie was a hoot.  It is one of those off-beat comedies that seem to be unique to England.  It had little goodies thrown in like two girls who specialize in egging passing cars, a shotgun wielding old lady defending her cattle from a dog, those same cattle stampeding.

If you like British humor, don’t let this movie sneak by you.
