London columnist Tamara Drewe (Gemma At...erton) reappears in a small and isolated village in the English countryside. She wants to sell her parents' house and interview a rock star. Soon enough, three males fall for the young and very attractive woman : romance novelist and cheating husband Nicholas Hardiment (Roger Allam), rock star Ben Sargeant (Dominic Cooper) and past boyfriend Andy Cobb (Luke Evans). While her house is being renovated by Andy, Tamara writes her own novel and enjoys Ben's company. Little does she know that teenager Jody Long (Jessica Barden) is scheming to come closer to the rock star. In the course of a year, each character will find out that "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". Don't expect an in-depth / social demonstration on city dwellers vs. villagers. This is a brilliant and funny comedy where each character's selfish motives and agenda are gradually exposed. "Writers are just thieves and liars" quotes Nicholas blissfully, more careful to please his paying guests than to pay attention to his devoted wife Beth (Tamsin Greig). The actors are doing a fine job and there is a good chemistry between them. There are no dull moments since there are three main story lines : Tamara and Ben, her neighbors Nicholas and Beth, the mischievous teenagers. These two girls however tend to steal the show as they are so gross, unashamed and reckless !
...I've watched this film over and over and never tire of it. I can see why it went down a storm at Cannes.

A mus...t amusing evening's entertainment. Well worth seeing and happily watched it two more times so our adult daughters could watch it too. Lots of the characters have on-going story lines so even until the end there are some good twists and hilarious moments. All the characters were plausible and we were particularly amused by the parts and acting of the two younger girls. All the characters were so well portrayed and it did make the English summer look idyllic.
I puchased the movie because its star was a local girl( Gemma Ar...terton) and I found the film enjoyable, its about life in an English Village.
