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.

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.

This movie is impossibly clichéd and stupid. Ridiculous storyline involves an English literature graduate student who is, the audience is repeatedly, ham-handedly bludgeoned into understanding, repressed and constrained by the life-long influence of his father, who is also, impossibly, an English literature professor in the same department. Add water to the standard elements of a wanna-be movie narrative: Young romantic interest helps protagonist break out of his rut and find his own identity; developing sense of self helps protagonist relate more genuinely to the students he teaches (the protagonist's "break-out" teaching assistant class toward the end of the movie being one of the most unwatchable segments of film I've seen in my life); evil rival European comparative literature student nemesis (seriously). The "mad-cap," "zany" trivia contest happening in the background providing painfully predictable comic relief. This movie does more than waste your time; it makes you long for your own death.

The movie was good, not great, but good. Arielle was a definite standout, as was Evan Jones as Ice. I would have liked to have seen more of Parnell and Ralph Williams. Gorham's performance was good as always, but I still had a hard time liking Paul all that much. It didn't help that this 30-year-old T.A. was playing footsie with his 18-year-old student. That said, the love scene was the best I've seen in a movie in years, the juxtaposition of romance and biblical text was very effective. But any sort of enjoyment you have of their relationship is pretty much killed during the library scene when even I wanted to smack him (Which I'm sure was the desired effect). When he gets his comeuppance from her, it's pretty well-deserved.I've heard varying reports as to whether what they showed was a rough cut or the final product. Considering they have more screenings and won't be hitting the festival circuit till next year I would bet there will be more edits to come.The film is definitely a visual love letter to the town of Ann Arbor, and seeing it in its home was a special treat. I love when a town becomes not just a backdrop but a character in the movie, as the Farahs have done with it here.
