Starter for 10
From the producers of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, comes a rollicking bittersweet comedy about British university life in the '80s. James McAvoy (The Last King of Scotland) stars as Brian, a working class student from Essex navigating his first year at Bristol University with a ragtag group of new friends. Brian's life-long dream is to join the team for the British quiz show University Challenge...and to pull Alice, the fittest girl on the team. Set against the backdrop of Thatcher-era Britain, defined by the music of New Order, The Cure and The Smiths, Starter for 10 is the UK's long-awaited, heartwarning and hilarious answer to the John Hughes films of the '80s. more

- Not so great
Even with Tom Hanks involved, this doesn't make the grade. A quiz-show caper, it lacks suspense. The love interests are only minorly interesting. The soundtrack of 80s Brit hits isn't bad, though. Watch if you're really bored.
