**Warning spoilers** If made for a bigger budget by a more experienced director, this would have been a hit. As it is, the technical aspects are weak. It was shot on HD and it shows. The lighting is off in many scenes, and the angles oft times don't match. The acting is great though. Sara Downing and Lundy are wonderful. As others have said, it is very true to college life; the insecurities, the quirky friends, awkward moments and odd couplings. However, I didn't think the character Julie was like Annie Hall at all, which was a plot point that wasn't well supported by the script or the acting.Anyway, "Burning Annie" is enjoyable. The script is the star. You won't regret renting it.

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. :)

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.

A very funny, albeit somewhat short movie, with a witty script and an awesome cast! It's very unique, very different, but very interesting; after seeing it for the first time, I watched it three times over, and I'm sure you will too!
