Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Gary Lundy, Sara Downing, Kim Murphy, Brian Klugman, Jay Paulson, Rini Bell, Todd Duffey, and Kathleen Rose Perkins

Burning Annie is a humorous slice of college life, filled with authentic characters and moments sure to strike a chord. It is an up-close look at the fallout of our media-saturated society, a love story for the post-existential generations, and a wise-beyond-its-hero's-years study of human interaction that delivers poignancy and laughs to spare. (Lightyear Entertainment)

The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz

A thoroughly professional comedy, well paced, attractively photographed and smartly acted.

Village Voice Nathan Lee

There's too much going on in Burning Annie but one thing goes remarkably right: Ordynans's exceptionally canny script nails how thoroughly pop culture has colonized our sentiments.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

Burning Annie has funny moments, but it suffers from an overflow of characters.

Variety Ronnie Scheib

Pic relies on nerdy world-weary irony to carry the day, but doesn't convincingly draw its characters.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Pays backhanded homage to Woody Allen via the travails of college loser Max (Gary Lundy), who fears that years of wallowing in "Annie Hall" have permanently poisoned his love life.

Film Threat Rory L. Aronsky

Even with a look at many of these people's relationship problems, there's nothing remotely interesting to listen to when they talk. In this case, it's the fault of the script, which doesn't provide much of anything interesting to keep it going for as long as it does.
