This is a light British 2010 comedy about an attractive female writer/journalist, Tamara Drewe, who returns to her native village to oversee the sale of her recently deceased mother's house.
Tamara is played by Gemma Aterton, who also appeared in Gemma Bovery.
Predictably, romantic complications ensue, some of them involving a serial philanderer neighbor and best seller author, whose long suffering wife is played by Tamsin Greig of Black Books, Green Wing, Love Soup and Episodes fame. The wife runs a writer's retreat, which makes for some more interesting characters and developments.
The machinations of two bored teenage girls who have a crush on Tamara's first newly acquired boyfriend, a famous rock star, help to move the plot along.
The story is very amusing and there is a happy ending for almost all of the parties concerned, i.e. most characters find their true love interest.
All in all a better than average romantic comedy which was a joy to watch.
