Stephen Frears directs this comedy drama about an ugly duckling followed by a handful of suitors after maturing into a sexy swan. Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton), born and raised in Ewedown, a quiet community on the outskirts of London dominated by a writer's colony run by Nicholas Hardiment (Roger Allam), a best-selling novelist who specializes in crime fiction, and his wife Beth (Tamsin Greig). When Tamara left Ewedown, she was a plain and awkward teenager, but when she returns home for the first time in years, the locals are surprised to discover that time (and a nose job) have turned her into an attractive and alluring woman, and she's gained a share of money and fame thanks to a successful newspaper column. Returning to refurbish the home of her recently deceased mother, Tamara soon finds herself pursued by three men from her past - Andy Cobb (Luke Evans), her former boyfriend; Ben Sergeant (Dominic Cooper), the swaggering drummer with a local indie rock band flirting with larger success; and Nicholas (Roger Allam), who is chronically unfaithful to his wife and sees an opportunity with the neighbourhood girl who was infatuated with him in her teens.

Represents bad British film-making
Wasn't even worth a star, to be a honest. The only thing i enjoyed was seeing Dominic Cooper mmmmm. Other than that poor, pointless film that should never ... read more »
Dominic Cooper drove his neighbours nuts when he landed the role of a rocker in new movie Tamara Drewe - he had to practice pounding drums for the part. The Mamma Mia! star plays hard-living rock star Ben Sergeant opposite former Bond girl Gemma Arterton in the upcoming film, and was determined to look authentic by learning an instrument. He kitted his apartment out with a set of drums and loved bashing out a rhythm - but he soon had to quit his new hobby when local council officials ordered... Read more
