Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

mrudolph-93207 A thoroughly enjoyable movie...time flew. The story is real (nostalgic?), well written, witty and spot-on. The characters are likable...it's very easy to empathize with them. The actors are engaging with priceless facial expressions...and they actually look and act like real college kids, even when they are conveying important ideas. Did I mention the great music score? Burning Annie is a must see for anyone who remembers being young...or who is!

indiefilmgrrl showed this film at our film festival. good characters with a good storyline made this film a crowd favorite. i liked it as well. funny, sweet, romantic; in short, great date night film.the only thing that bothered me was the actor who played tommy. ugh. i can't stand that guy. he's the same guy who played the annoying "flair" restaurant guy in office space. thankfully he wasn't in much of this film, but he was in it enough to annoy me. other than this guy, i thought the film was really good. (yes, i am petty. sue me.)i look forward to seeing what else van flesher directs. we'd love to have him back at the oxnard indie film festival. :)

rkelly74 I saw Burning Annie at Clark University on April 3, 2004. Burning Annie is about a bunch of college kids who blame their poor luck with relationships on their ritualistic watching of Woody Allen's Annie Hall. The script is brilliantly witty and would seem to be begging for comparison to Woody Allen himself, if not for its moments of modesty and self-deprecation. It doesn't take itself too seriously and that is its charm. The film's editing was fun and playful, fitting into the rest of the film perfectly. Absent of any stars, the acting was quite impressive. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gary Lundy in another film very soon. As a college kid, I can completely relate to the characters and storyline. They hit the nail on the head with this movie. Overall, this was a superb film, and I would recommend Burning Annie to anyone looking to have a good time with a movie.

Armak For those of us who are completely sick of "Van Wilder" and the bazillions of asinine, unfunny "Animal House" rip-offs, BURNING ANNIE is a great film about the **reality** of college life... plus, it's actually funny, charming, and smart.If you long for films like "The Graduate," "Sex Lies & Videotape," "Spanking the Monkey," "Clerks," "Welcome to the Dollhouse," etc, then you owe it to yourself to seek this one out.
