Burning Annie is the best film i seen this year plus the music is great.
If you haven't seen it you can get it at Walmart.com or best buy.com it is also available for rent at Hollywood Video, it is a must see.
If you love great comedies, then you will love this film The acting is great and it is defiantly a great date movie .
I wish there where more great films like this and look forward to more films that can at least compare to this one.
Gary Lundy did a great job playing max, i love when he says "I'm the only guy i know who gets insulted in his own fantasies =]

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. :)

This movie is really good. The first time I saw it, i laughed nonstop. A great humorous look at different relationships among college students. This movie gives an indepth look at living away at college and really makes you feel like you are back there with the characters. A great movie for anyone who has gone away to college!! And Im not just saying all this cause....

I see a lot of movies and was not expecting much from this film after having seen a string of woeful efforts in the last few weeks.
This movie was EXCELLENT! The humor was low-key which meant that it actually meant something rather than having a group of young performers trying to be funny.
There was a strong sense of reality about Burning Annie that I found uniquely special and have found myself raving about it since first viewing it.
The cast and crew should feel proud of this work and I just hope that it is seen by a wide audience as it deserves to.

Van Flesher's `Burning Annie' is a smart comedy about a neurotic college student who becomes convinced that his obsession with Woody Allen's `Annie Hall' is ruining his love life. Unlike so many twentysomething comedies, `Burning Annie' relies on a strong story and a talented cast of characters to tell its tale.
Gary Lundy is fantastic in the lead role of Max, a college station disc jockey who keeps changing his radio program's schedule out of fear that someone might be listening. Kim Murphy plays Beth, Max's ex-girlfriend and sounding board, and Sara Downing plays Julie, Max's new love interest. These strong performances are rounded out by Brian Klugman who plays Max's goofy sidekick, Charles, in a role reminiscent of the Tony Roberts character from Allen's `Annie Hall', if only in spirit.
The script, by Zack Ordynans and Randy Mack, is filled with dark wit and clever dialogue, and provides a surprisingly honest look at everyday college life. It's self-referential without being too cute, and manages to tip its hat to Allen's `Annie Hall' while remaining fresh and original, throughout.
`Burning Annie' is well worth a look -- one of the surprise hits from thi s year's festival circuit.

Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the punk-rock band playing in the college bar is "Anhedonia." "Anhedonia," a psychological term meaning the inability to be happy, was Woody Allen's working title for Annie Hall (1977)
- GoofsWhen Max is describing his group he says Sam is the "Alpha male" of the group, which primarily consists of "zeta males." The implication is the other males would be the lowest social caste, but that would be the "omega males" because Omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet. Zeta is the 7th letter.
