Film Reviews - Fanboys

We just got back home from watching "Fanboys" in it's limited release glory 20+ miles away from my house. This film has been over two years in the making. I remember seeing one incarnation of the poster for it well over a year ago personally.

Acording to IMDB's webiste the film began principle photography in 2006.

So the premise is pretty cool, as far as a road trip and a love letter to a most beloved series in cinematic history. The story reminds me of something my friends and I would have joked about doing when the movies actually came out. There were a few parts of the film that were a little too far fetched, but other than those, a very believable coming of age story. 

The comedy was consistent and the one-liners kept coming. Tons of movie references and cameos by fans of the Star Wars series. 

Overall cute movie, but if you were looking for a saga a la, Trekkies, it's not there.

May the force be with you.
