If there is one thing that Gemma Arterton’s Alice Lamb can’t abide in the new period comedy Summerland, it’s children. They are the bane of her reclusive existence in a small seaside town in Kent, during WW2, branding her a “witch” and causing a daily nuisance with pranks on and around her property while she is trying to write her thesis.

Making a tearjerker that still has a sense of fun to it is a fairly difficult proposition. After all, you want the emotions to seem real, so the playfulness can’t overwhelm it, or frankly, vice-versa.

Valentina I. Valentini Jessica Swale’s World War II-era “Summerland,” debuting on demand via IFC on July 31, turns the English coastal countryside into a character in the tale of a reclusive writer played by Gemma Arterton — and the house in which much of the action takes place serves as a portal to those surroundings.

Some filmmaker’s find a genre they like and then…well, live in that for a long time. Perhaps not unlike Bryan Singer before him who lived in the “X-Men” franchise for years, Matthew Vaughn (who followed his footsteps into “X-Men: First Class“) really seems to love his “Kingsman: The Secret Service” spy series — his riff on the Bond series only more R-Rated and often vulgar.
