Leave your thoughts about Burning Annie.
| Film ThreatBill ArceneauxBurning Annie very much is a dissection and reworking of the arcs and lessons of Annie Hall, clever and introspective. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriA surprising little charmer, overcoming the rough edges of its low-budget origins with sharp writing and a genuinely sweet sensibility. |
| User ReviewMartin RThis movie has an absorbing story, very likeable characters and actors who are engaging. Definitely a must see for those who remember being young...or who are?? |
| User ReviewDmitry CQuirky comedy and a little bit sad but sill worth seeing if you're into that. |
| User ReviewHeather MThis one is a weak indie film. The acting is not stellar, but the romance between the lead characters is cute. It isn't the greatest or the worst that I have seen though I won't be recommending it to anyone. |
| User ReviewJaclyn LThis wasn't really all that good. I didn't HATE it but I didn't really like it that much. I like that part of it was real but the acting was bad. |
| User ReviewAlice SIf you're gonna reference Annie Hall throughout your movie, or even worse, claim that your main love interest is "the modern incarnation of Annie Hall" in your badly-written Netflix DVD sleeve synopsis, you better go balls-to-the-wall with that homage. I want a nightclub-singing, lobster-flinging, tennis racket-swinging ditz who wears ties and vests, dammit!!! I would rather think you copied Annie Hall than you co-opted a few of its philosophies because you think (erroneously) that they define you as a human being. The filmmakers seemed to have good intentions. They're young and fresh-faced and pretty decent actors for the most part. The script isn't even that bad, if they had just taken out the ham-handed attempt at Woody Allen worship. There are some funny, neurotic quips that fit into a nice, college rom-dramedy, but - and this may be ageist of me - these characters are too young/immature/inexperienced to "get" Annie Hall. I also couldn't get past the fact that the lead male looks just like Nick Jonas. And the Virginia Tech windshield decal. Weird. |
