Fanboys (2008)


Guess what I got for Christmas!

Now I've mentioned I'm a bit of a Fan Girl, so you could say I was rather excited to see Fanboys in my stocking on Christmas morning. A ready made cult classic to say the least. An awesome comedy reminiscent of some 80's classics to say the most.

It's an epic tale and homage to all things Star Wars. A group of friends travel across America to the Skywalker Ranch to steal an advance copy of Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (1999). How can this not be fun?

With Star Wars and many other geeky references a plenty, this film sets my little fan girl heart fluttering.

Each cast member brings their own humour to the film and it's hard to pick my favourite. If forced to pick, Kristen Bell's character Zoe is delectable. She has all the wit and sass you would expect and is the Princess Leia of the piece.  Now going with this flow, Sam Huntington's Eric is the Luke Skywalker, Chris Marquette's Linus the Obi-Wan, and Dan Fogler's Hutch although wishing he was Han Solo is actually more likely R2-D2 paired with Jay Baruchel's character Windows aka C-3PO.

I'm not sure how enjoyable this film would be if you haven't seen the Star Wars franchise, but.. wait.. what?? you haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies????????!?!?!??!?!? Oh that's so sad, and I pity you.

*waves hand slowly in front of your face* This is not the movie you are looking for.
