Starter for 10

Watched this again on DVD. I saw it in the theaters when it was in limited release a few months ago. Now it's finally out on DVD. Definitley worth a look. This is a sweet, funny (and at times actually touching) coming of age story set to the soundtrack of the Cure. Though the film borrows a lot from the John Hughes films of the 80s, the genuineness of the main character, Brian Jackson (brilliantly played by James McAvoy) keeps this movie from becoming clichee. This is a story of a young man emerging from his father's shadow and discovering love and himself in the process. Loved it! ****
