Starter for 10 has that slice of life quality that accurately depicts the point in life where you start to realize that things don't always happen the way you think they should. That might happen at different points for different people, and in this film Brian (James McAvoy) goes through this point during his first year at University.
Brian is the first in his family to attend University and he decides to "jump in" by joining a trivia team that competes in the University Challenge. He navigates the term dealing with an overzealous team captain (Benedict Cumberbatch), figuring out his love life, and handling his relationships with old friends.
This film has a light hearted feel to it that prevails throughout even when dealing with difficult situations that inevitably will crop up in most peoples lives. Compounded with a great soundtrack, this well written story will leave you with a smile on your face and laughs to remember.
