Fanboys (Blu-ray)
 
Never Tell Them the Odds.
 
 
It's 1998 and Star Wars fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of Episode I. But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows, the term "fanboy" is more than just a title, it's a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies. Traveling West across the country to visit their Mecca -- George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch -- the plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they'll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner.
 
"A hilariously spry effort from an equally unpromising premise."  Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"You'd think the weakest link in Fanboys would be that it's all in-jokes, but they're actually not so "in" that a casual fan won't get them."  Bob Mondello, NPR
"...has a lot of talent in its margins, including Jay Baruchel, Kristen Bell, Seth Rogen, and other usual suspects."  Keith Phipps, The Onion A.V. Club
"There are enough good jokes in "Fanboys," a road comedy about geeks on a "Star Wars"-related quest, to satisfy hard-core fans of that George Lucas franchise."  Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
"What keeps the movie near, if not actually in, hyperdrive is its love of deep-dish geek culture and a gaggle of cameo appearances."  Ty Burr, Boston Globe

 


Editor's Note

Set in the not-so-distant past of 1998, this unusual comedy finds four friends embarking on an epic cross-country road trip to see STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Since the film hasn't been released yet, they must travel to Skywalker Ranch to steal the film from George Lucas's home.
