"Tamara Drewe" is a story about writers that does a lovely job of depicting the interior worlds they inhabit and the fragile egos that often accompany a lifetime spent mostly inside one's own head. It's a comedy, but in that distinctly British mode that always involves a generous ladling of misery. It succeeds as a comedy of manners and observation, though it errs in presenting us with a wide array of interesting characters and then selecting the least compelling among them to drive the story.
