Review of Starter for 10 (2006) by Buggy B — 06 Sep 2014
I'd heard good things about this but honestly wasn't all that impressed. I mean its okay but nothing special, even with James McAvoy in the lead and a nerdy (somewhat hilarious) role from Benedict Cumberbatch.
The music is good, headlining The Cure and other 80's gems and it is charming but not particularly original, funny or all that endearing. McAvoy is Brian Jackson, a 1985 working class bloke with a love of knowledge who gets a scholarship to the university of Bristol.
He spends most of his time there navigating love and relationships while preparing with his team for "University Challenge", a popular televised college quiz show. 9/6/14.
