Tamara Drewe (2010)


Wow - this movie is hideous. It is supposed to be a rollicking farce, I believe, but the main characters are liars or cheats or self-absorbed bores or all of the above. There are borderline scenes with a (self) sexualized 15 year old - more than a little disturbing.

There are a couple of decent characters. They are not the main characters, so I found myself waiting for the minor characters to get on screen. Overall, I would skip this - though I will now watch for movies with Dominic Cooper. He's adorable.

This movie has one of the worst, nastiest endings I've ever see. It really is billed as a comedy, but the film has the ending of a horror film or a Victorian tragedy. Just skip it unless I've made you really curious.
