Starter For 10

Movie Synopsis

In Britain in the 1980s, working-class but very bright student Brian Jackson must learn to be a success at university when he discovers women.

Movie Review Summary

This is a nice film, it’s a good watch and the characters aren’t outlandish, which makes this work. We feel for Brian, we like him and we want him to succeed in this crazy new world of university and girls that he’s found himself in. We can probably all relate to his feelings of being out of depth. The fact that he has the University Challenge theme throughout his life gives him that bedrock and is a nice touch, although viewers outside of the UK may not recognise the fame behind the program and its host, Bamber Gascoigne. It’s almost worth watching this to see some very good actors and actresses before they hit the big time.
