Product Description

In Burning Annie, Max is a college student whose romantic universe is defined by the so-called "cautionary tale" of the Woody Allen film, Annie Hall. Max can only reach out to the world through his confessional: a radio show that he prays nobody listens to, leading him to volunteer for ever-more-remote time slots in the schedule. Max's friends are hardly much help. There's Charles, the schmoozy thespian and Rat Pack wanna-be; Sam, whose long-term relationship with his girlfriend Jen is now held together mostly by emotional inertia; Amanda, the sensitive Ani DiFranco fan who can't get through to the inscrutable Scott; Beth, who was Max's closest friend in college until a disastrous date ruins their friendship, possibly forever; and Julie, the beautiful co-ed who crashes into Max's life by becoming his radio show's only audience member. The most important person in Max's life, however, is Annie Hall. When Charles suggests that Max's favorite movie (and favorite obsession) is sabotaging his romantic relationships, Max resists the idea, but quickly finds plenty of evidence to support the theory. Does the problem lie with Max and his friends, or is a 20-year-old movie about failed relationships causing this 20-year-old's relationships to fail?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little find, March 14, 2007

By	daveosome (DC) - See all my reviews

This romantic comedy captures the feel of college life and romances. The characters are quirky but believable and the story doesn't rely on a contrived Hollywood ending. While the production value doesn't rival Titanic, it is fine for an indie film from a group of young talent.

Give it a look before watching Annie Hall with a significant other!

4.0 out of 5 stars It shows real college life, March 15, 2007

By	L. Bernstein "Software Engineering Prof" (Hoboken NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Burning Annie is witty and touching. It ends with an uncertain future for Max, jusy like when we graduated from college. A wonderful chic chick flick. You will watch it at least twice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Annie Hall lives, March 29, 2007

By	M. Shonle (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This dark romantic-comedy is probably the best depiction of college life I've seen since Baumbach's Kicking & Screaming. (And, this time, the actors are actually college age!)

There are some in-jokes and nods to Woody Allen fans, but even my wife appreciated the movie without having seen Annie Hall first. This is a great film to see for a mellow night when you don't want violent action or gross out comedy. And there probably hasn't been as great of a soundtrack to a low-budget indie film like this since the original Clerks. Well done!
