The Annie Hall homage Burning Annie is a thoroughly professional comedy, well paced, attractively photographed and smartly acted.

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

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

This one is a weak indie film. The acting is not stellar, but the romance between the lead characters is cute. It isn't the greatest or the worst that I have seen though I won't be recommending it to anyone.
