RELEASE DATE: 26th December 2010
1/2 - She's naughty but nice in equal measure!!!Tamara Drewe is an English film directed by Stephen Frears of 'High Fidelity' fame (John Cusack and Jack Black star in this '2000' release and favourite of mine). 'Tamara Drewe' played by Gemma Arterton (starring role in Prince of Persia and Quantam of Solace) returns from London to visit her childhood home after the death of her mother. A 'beak nosed' brunette, Tamara left her hometown for London and a career in jounalism and returns with a 'new' nose and a bucket-full of contradictions. On her return she is reunited with her past in the form of the neighbourhood literary star Nicholas Hardiment (played by Roger Allam) and a teenage love.
Back home to write about the local music festival and organise the sale of the family home, Tamara meets the lead singer of the 'it' band of the moment and begins a relationship. Her neighbours in the Village, Nicholas Hardiment and wife Beth Hardiment (played by Tamsin Greig of British Comedy 'Black Books') run a writer's retreat which is a source of entertainment on it's own.
As the relationships between Tamara and the singer flourishes two local schoolgirls watch enviously at the exciting lives these adults lead. One of the school girls (played by young actress Jessica Barden) has a crush on Tamara's boyfriend and is determined to go to any lengths to ensure this rocker stays in town, at least until she has the chance to introduce herself and he falls in love with her!!....
As our tale progresses we se love lost, found and re-ignited but best viewed on DVD...
