Answer This! (3 stars)
What It’s About: Everyone knows a guy like Paul Tarson (Christopher Gorham). He’s that encyclopedia of useless information who you want on your team in games of “Trivial Pursuit.” Problem is, he’s a 30-year old manchild who has no idea what he will do after grad school (again, we all know someone like this guy). But the citywide pub trivia tournament just might be his ticket to proving that he’s more than a one-trick pony. Maybe.
What We Like: The main reason everyone in the region will want to go see this film is because it was shot at and endorsed by the University of Michigan—first time they’ve ever officially lent their name to a film. There’s live footage of a U of M football game (Let’s Go Blue!) and plenty of U of M landmarks on display. Having said that, “Answer This!” is also a pretty cute-n-quirky coming of age film that may not be exactly groundbreaking but is perfectly entertaining. We’ll take it!
Opens Friday, October 21 at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor.
