Great little find

"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!"
It shows real college life

"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."

"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!"
Don't listen to these nimrods!

"I just saw this film this afternoon after I had bought it cheap months ago. What interested me about it was the plot, as I am a Woody Allen fanatic. I don't know why people have issues with this honestly, because this is done remarkably well. All the characters are interesting and give great performances. The chemistry is superb and was one of those films I was not checking the clock to see how much longer I had.
Yes, the film was done low budget and some of the technical work leads a lot to be desired, but so what? If the story and acting is superb in a film of this sort, i.e. a character study, it doesn't really matter. So, I highly recommend this to everyone who loves Woody Allen movies, who aren't so closed minded when a film has a low budget."
