1-26-12 Fanboys

The movie for tonight...Fanboys! This movie was recommended to me by my wife's coworker and it was simply amazing! I'm a huge Star Wars fan...so much that for Christmas this year my brother bought me a lightsaber! Yeah to be honest I'm almost a fanboy but not quite as crazy. As a kid I saw the movies and pretended to be Luke Skywalker! So to see a movie that portrayed a group o young fans that love a series as much as me and live an adventure that I myself would be apart of if I could. Well then it's worth you're time to check this film out.

Released in 2008 this film features a cast of well known character actors like, Dan Fogler, Kristen Bell, Jay Baruchel, Sam Huntington and Chris Marquette! They mostly play small parts in big movies but in this film they are the leads and they are amazing! Now there are cameos like, William Shatner, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride but the best part is that they got two Star Wars actors to make cameos. Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia and Billy Dee Williams who played Lando Calrissian. Their parts are epic in this movie and make for a good time if you can catch the references! So the story is based in 1998 just before the epic release of Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace. This is the tale of a group of super fans better know to the world as 'Fanboys' that set out to see the film before anyone else. They plan to do so by breaking into Skywalker Ranch, home of George Lucas and place where he keeps the film. Along the way they must battle Trekkies and each other as they try and accomplish their dream. Along the way they rediscover themselves and meet new and interesting people. Saved by the the chief and aided by an unexpected foe. In the end you'll be shocked and sadenef but overall you'll have lived at least for a couple hours lived in the shoes of a fanboy! This film is a comedy but I'd rather classify it as an adventure film. Stars 7/10! Available on Netflix!
