The problem with Fanboys is that it's an unbalanced mix of locker room humor, science fiction references and attempts at drama. The whole movie seems full of half-baked ideas that were rushed into production. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments and several fun references, but overall I would not recommend seeing this movie.

... View MoreWhat's nice about "Fanboys" is that it takes us back to that pre-"Episode I" period when Star Wars fans weren't divided along trilogy lines (if you've spent much time on the Internet in the last, let's say 14 years, you'll know what I'm talking about). It was an innocent time, believe it or not.The charm of this movie is due to its cast. Our five heroes are a likable group of actors. Jay Baruchel, Dan Fogler and Kristen Bell get the best lines, and seeing Bell take down Fogler in a headlock was pretty funny. I do love her character's spunk. And the filmmakers went to some lengths fill out the rest with famous faces (the names here will surprise you). A lot of the humor here rests on cheap gags and a few tired jokes (most of which is aimed at the die-hards in the audience), but for the most part, "Fanboys" is a fun road trip.6/10
... View MoreThis is the kind of movie that needs two very different ratings, depending on if you are a true fan of star wars or not. For true fans (like me), the films rates at least a 7. For everyone else, the film rates no more than a 3 or 4. So, if you are a true fan of the saga, you will love this film. It is full of topics, clichés, gags, cameos, and jokes that you will adore, and that you will understand. You will love Kirsten Bell in her Princess Leia costume. You will enjoy the jokes about trekkies. You will understand and laugh with the conversations of the main characters. For everyone else, if you do not know what I am talking about when I say "Han solo shot first", do not go to watch this movie, because you will get disappointed. Or at least, do not do it until you have learned about star wars universe.
