Title: The book was great, the movie was good
Review: Those of you who read the book may be a bit disappointed by its screen adaptation, an all to common occurrence when a book becomes a film.Placing that comment aside and reviewing this film without use of a pretense, Starter for 10 is a cute, all be it a bit campy, British comedy about the bumps and hiccups brought by coming of age, finding ones future, and facing ones past. James McAvoy does a brilliant job of making his character lovably awkward. The subtle comedy, satirical character types and romantic interfaces make this a must see for any University Challenge fan (or anyone looking for a good laugh).1 star off only because the book was better.
