Alicia I love this movie so much
CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
kfhines As a graduate student working to complete her thesis I absolutely loved this movie. So much of my life was working towards this goal of having my masters but the afterwards of it all wasn't figured out. Not to mention I love bar trivia. This movie is I guess a "coming of age film" it's the perfect film for those in their twenties who have done everything "right" but still don't have things figured out. Besides the storyline the movie is filled with likable characters, a well-written script, and a fantastic score that will delight almost everyone. Christopher Gorham shines as a nerdy but charming TA that is struggling to find himself while being pressured by his father to follow in his foot steps. Give this movie a chance and it will surprise you.
Wonder_Woman527 This movie is definitely a must see. The script is phenomenal! While it has its goofy run-of-the-mill college movie moments, the underlying plot of "greatness is trivial" is beautifully played out. Christopher Gorham was the perfect choice for this film. He is such a strong actor and he really owns this role. You can't help but love him. The movie also has its moments of romance but it isn't what you would expect. This is not a happily ever after type of movie. It's real. It's what real people experience and what real people want to see. You don't leave this movie blissfully happy and loving life. You leave this movie contemplating. Answer This! is a movie that makes you think. It makes you question. I believe there is no better movie than one that inspires you. This is one of those movies. It's hilarious, romantic, thoughtful, and emotional. The comedic relief is well done and the supporting characters provide someone for everyone to relate to. I love this movie and will definitely be recommending it to others.
Jens Wegar There are no great twists in this movie and nothing ground breaking. It's not remarkably funny, it's not extremely bad. It just is a very average blend of a growing up movie that tries to be a comedy.The plot line follows the basic boy is stuck in life, boy meets free spirited girl, boy gets girl, boy gets a wake-up call, yada yada yada storytelling. Very easy to predict once you've been introduced to the main characters. The whole trivia thing is just an excuse to shoot in a bar and in the end is actually a pretty small part of the whole movie. There is one scene where the main character gets very philosophical in class about the concept of questioning what one reads and it's relation to creating something holy, which is actually surprisingly thought provoking (although the setting in which it is presented again is pretty cliché).If you're into the whole "growing up in college" thing, or if you just want something where no brain power is necessary, then you might have a few enjoyable hours with this one.
swimmer38 I was fortunate enough to attend the world premiere screening of Answer This! at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor last October, and since then I have been waiting for the film to be picked up for wider distribution. Wrekin Hill Entertainment has picked up Answer This!, and to celebrate that, there was another red carpet premiere screening at the Emagine Royal Oak this past Thursday, October 13. I was interested in seeing if the distributors had made any changes to the movie, and if they had, they are little; however, the movie was just as good as I remembered it.
