Burning Annie (2004)

So much average

good back-story, and good acting

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Burning Annie is the best film i seen this year plus the music is great. If you haven't seen it you can get it at Walmart.com or best buy.com it is also available for rent at Hollywood Video, it is a must see.If you love great comedies, then you will love this film The acting is great and it is defiantly a great date movie .I wish there where more great films like this and look forward to more films that can at least compare to this one.Gary Lundy did a great job playing max, i love when he says "I'm the only guy i know who gets insulted in his own fantasies =]

I saw this movie in a film festival this past Saturday and it was a lot of fun! Hopefully it will get picked up and distributed soon so more folks can see it. It's basically about this college guy who decides that his obsession with the movie Annie Hall is a curse on his love life. I'm usually pretty picky about comedies but this one got a lot of giggles out of me, and it had a great reception at the film festival, so keep your eye out for it!

Van Flesher's `Burning Annie' is a smart comedy about a neurotic college student who becomes convinced that his obsession with Woody Allen's `Annie Hall' is ruining his love life. Unlike so many twentysomething comedies, `Burning Annie' relies on a strong story and a talented cast of characters to tell its tale.Gary Lundy is fantastic in the lead role of Max, a college station disc jockey who keeps changing his radio program's schedule out of fear that someone might be listening. Kim Murphy plays Beth, Max's ex-girlfriend and sounding board, and Sara Downing plays Julie, Max's new love interest. These strong performances are rounded out by Brian Klugman who plays Max's goofy sidekick, Charles, in a role reminiscent of the Tony Roberts character from Allen's `Annie Hall', if only in spirit.The script, by Zack Ordynans and Randy Mack, is filled with dark wit and clever dialogue, and provides a surprisingly honest look at everyday college life. It's self-referential without being too cute, and manages to tip its hat to Allen's `Annie Hall' while remaining fresh and original, throughout.`Burning Annie' is well worth a look -- one of the surprise hits from thi s year's festival circuit.

This movie impressed me on many levels. Immediately, it brought me back to my college days in Boston and reminded me of all the intricacies of college dating..... the awkwardness of young flirtation, drunken parties and hookups, roommates coming in at exactly the wrong moment, but also the rush of excitement that was felt when I found out that my affection was reciprocated.Insiteful observations about dating and romance as a whole, some witty and memorable dialog, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see at least ONE of the cast go on to some very big things. Soundtrack rocked, too.Overall, stands up well against it's 'Indie' competition.
