Tamara Drewe (3 Stars)


This film is advertised as a comedy, but apart from a few scenes in the last 10 minutes there was nothing that made me laugh. The film is a love story, more than anything else.

Tamara Drewe was an unattractive girl who grew up in a small village. She moved to London to become a reporter. 10 years later she returns to interview the drummer of a rock band giving an open air concert, and she decides to stay. Thanks to cosmetic surgery she now looks stunning, and all the local men, young and old, become obsessed with her.

I have the feeling this film would appeal to Americans because it is so quaint. I found it unexciting and predictable. It's obvious early on who Tamara is going to get together with, however many other men she has to sleep with before finding true love.
