Full Plot Details

In 1985, against the backdrop of Thatcherism, Brian Jackson enrolls in the University of Bristol, a scholarship boy from seaside Essex with a love of knowledge for its own sake and a childhood spent watching "University Challenge," a college quiz show. At Bristol he tries out for the Challenge team and falls under the spell of Alice, a lovely blond with an extensive sexual past. He's smitten, and he carelessly manages to hurt the feelings of Rebecca Epstein, a friend whose politics and wit he admires. The Challenge finale is coming up; maybe Brian can redeem himself and still avoid being a prat.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood.com - 10/10 by Michael SzymanskiPure feel-good romantic nostalgia, whether you lived in 1980's London or not.
ReelzChannel.com - 9/10 by Heather HuntingtonA sweet, funny nostalgia trip back to the '80s for the anglophile in all of us.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Chris BarsantiUnusual coming-of-age comedy which manages to locate the occasional bit of funny amidst all the lesson-learning and overcoming of adversity.
AV Club - 9/10 by Nathan RabinA beautifully observed coming-of-age story.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole SmitheyFor as lighthearted as Starter For 10 seems on the outside, there is plenty of subtle interpretation about how radically social freedoms have changed since the '80s.
CinemaBlend - 9/10 by Lexi FeinbergFeels like such a throwback to the '80s that it's hard to believe it wasn't brought forth in a time machine created by Doc Brown.
Variety - 9/10 by Leslie FelperinShowcasing the considerable talents of ubiquitous thesp James McAvoy ("The Last King of Scotland," "Penelope") and several other up-and-coming Brit actors, picture garnishes fairly standard college-set plot with wit, warmth and unexpected turns.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigThe writing is nimble, the performances engaging and the story of a working-class boy who yearns to distinguish himself by acquiring knowledge is witty and intelligent.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansStarter for 10 lives happily at the intersection of Nick Hornby's novels and John Hughes' '80s-era coming-of-age movies.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 8/10 by Robert DenersteinA modest, almost negligible British comedy.
