The overripe Arterton is put on glorious display, but... there's little joy and not much romp in this cluttered sex farce.

There's a whiff of desperation behind the comic romp Tamara Drewe that gives it some unexpected sting.

You know where you're going in territory that's actually more Jane Austen than Hardy, but Frears makes the most of the many bumps and twists.

Frears' loose-limbed film, while warm and fitfully witty, feels consistently and steadfastly like less than the sum of its parts.

The project has a slapdash, good-enough-for-government work feel to it.

"Tamara Drewe" is a wickedly smart hybrid of a literary roundelay and a postfeminist manifesto.

This screen adaptation by director Stephen Frears successfully re-creates the strip's pastoral tone and cheeky humor.

A judicious comic actor, Arterton plays the eponymous Tamara, who throws a small English village into a tizzy when she returns from London to put the family cottage on the market.

It's a fine diversion filled with silly people following their silly desires.

While no one would celebrate Tamara Drewe as a great movie, it is a reliable dispenser of visual and erotic pleasures.

It's only as the narrative adopts an increasingly episodic feel that one's interest begins to wane...
November 04, 2010
The film lacks Frears' usual master touch; it often feels flat and self-conscious, in a way that the book never does.
