This James McAvoy (who plays Brian in this) seems to be in everything these days, but I'll admit that he's deserving. He's a likable guy that pulls me into the story. There was plenty of humor and dramatic suspense in the form of rooting for Brian in not only the "University Challenge" but in his life.
The one thing I didn't buy was the "romance" between Brian (James McAvoy) and Rebecca. I guess I was supposed to feel some build-up between the two, but I mostly just found her to be okay at best, irritating at times. The irritating won out over "okay" when she got so furious with him one night. I did like that she was a go-getter with passions, but I could've used a little more sparks between them throughout.
Funny competition scenes.
