NOW AVAILABLE from LightYear Entertainment and Warner Bros. DVDSOME REVIEWS!! New York magazine said:
A surprising little charmer, overcoming the rough edges of its low-budget origins with sharp writing and a genuinely sweet sensibility.
The New York Times said:
It all sounds precious, but somehow it doesn't play that way. Burning Annie is a thoroughly professional comedy, well paced, attractively photographed and smartly acted.
The Village Voice said: ...
This anxiously auspicious debut is a pomo romcom for iPodpeople, a bittersweet riff on the displacement of feeling. The exceptionally canny script nails how thoroughly pop culture has colonized our sentiments. Immensely appealing performances.

Succeeds in conjuring the tone and spirit of 'Annie Hall'-- a remarkable thing, indeed.
BURNING ANNIE MAY BE THE BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR." - Entertainment Today"Clearly a labor of love.
The best romantic comedy I've seen in years. A GREAT FILM." - MSNBC"
At once touching and funny, but never cloying or cute-- credit the deft writing and camera work. Add an excellent score and THIS LITTLE FILM COMES UP BIG." - E. Hampton Independent"
Likable-- tons of 'tude! SMART-ASS PUNS, WITTY REPARTEE, sardonic asides, and SHARP SOCIAL OBSERVATIONS. Kim Murphy is luminous." - Daily Variety"
A hilarious homage to Woody Allen. Lundy has a wiseass, nerdy charisma and Downing matches him in smarts and screen presence.
The wisecracking amorous trio could carry a Hollywood movie..." - Providence Phoenix"Compelling... Captures the college experience very well. Character interactions provide a host of memorable scenes...
A wonderful film. Recommended." - The Numbers"
Relentlessly funny from fade to fade, without a false note between... Humor that is rooted in honesty. A riotous, whip-smart film." - Bangin' Banana****************************************************** *********
