Reviewers from Empire and The Hollywood Reporter called it "intelligently funny" and a faithful, amusing rendering of the source material. The Drawbacks:
The situation descends into chaos when two bored, celebrity-obsessed teenage girls, and Casey , begin meddling in Tamara's love life. Critical Reception
is best suited for fans of distinctly British comedy and social satire who enjoy "middlebrow" romances with a bite.
The story follows (Gemma Arterton), a journalist who returns to her childhood village in Dorset to sell her late mother’s house. Once a self-conscious "ugly duckling," she returns transformed after a nose job, immediately catching the attention of the local men: Andy Cobb (Luke Evans): Her old flame and local handyman.
A preening rock drummer who begins a high-profile affair with Tamara.
Several critics noted that the visual style and pacing sometimes felt more like a television production than a cinematic experience. Summary of Scores Score/Rating Rotten Tomatoes 65% (Critics) / 47% (Audience) Metacritic 64/100 ("Generally favorable") Empire 4 out of 5 stars IMDb
