Low on inspiration and laughs, Fanboys is a movie that should have been made years ago. Christopher Marquette plays Eric, a would-be heir to a used-car dealership and former loser who rejects his high-school buddies' continuing preoccupation with childish things, including George Lucas' Star Wars saga. When his lifelong friend, Linus (Sam Huntington), is diagnosed in 1999 with a terminal illness, however, Eric joins geeky Windows (Jay Baruchel), wildman Hutch (Dan Fogler) and comely Zoe (Kirsten Bell) on a cross-country trip to steal a print of Star Wars: Phantom Menace from Lucas' Skywalker Ranch for Eric to have a look. Along the way, of course, sundry disasters and complications await, everything from getting caught in a gay biker bar to a confrontation with a Vegas pimp (Seth Rogen, genuinely funny). The misadventures at Skywalker include a few good moments, especially when the guards look like characters Lucas might have considered for either of the two trilogies. The best comic material concerns hostilities between Star Wars fanatics and Star Trek Trekkers, including a scene set in the Ohio hometown of James Tiberius Kirk. A few good cameos include William Shatner, Carrie Fisher, and Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. --Tom Keogh

 Not bad September 1, 2010
J. Mackin (Caledonia (Scotland))
Funny film, but i can't believe the characters went to all that hassle for The Phantom Menace. lol
 one of my favs... June 9, 2010

I love this movie for a lot of reasons... I mainly watched it because I really like Chris Marquette... I have loved him in every movie and show he's done... But this movie is hilarious :) They have a great cast, and to me, they couldn't have picked a better girl too. I have seen a lot of "real Fanboys" complain about this movie because they say it doesn't capture what a "real fanboy" is... okay, it's a movie, first off... second, IT'S A MOVIE... IT'S A DAMN MOVIE... and it's more than just being a fan of it all... it's a story about, friendship, GROWING UP, and doing what you want and think is best...

Some dirt, some fun, some comedy through tears as teen friends travelled to the San Francisco Star War sequence premier throughout the USA.

This is a fun movie for all of Geekdom.... Star Wars fans will appreciate this one.
Story revolves around a group of friends who really aren't going anywhere.... where Eric (Sam Huntington) feels his life needs direction, as he listlessly works at his father's used car lot, even though his true passion is art, and creating his own comic book, something he put off thinking it was all pipe dreams. Then there are his friends, best friend Linus (Chris Marquette), nerd o'rama Windows (Jay Baruchel), and crazy man, Hutch (Dan Fogler) who has pimped out his van as if it is the Millennium Falcon, and nerd cutie Zoe (Kirsten Bell). These guys live and breath anything fanboy, whether it's arguing who fired first... Han or Greedo, which is better Empire or Jedi, arguing if Boba fett is a genuine bad ass or not, and basically repeating their favorite movie lines in everyday lingo (seriously who doesn't do that? my friends and I do it) anyways turns out Linus finds he has a terminal illness where he and Eric have drifted apart after high school, where Eric thinks what his friends do are childish games, that they never grew up, thinking he is the only one who really moved on from this nonsense, where as with the rest of the group it's a passion something they enjoy, like outdoor enthusiasts enjoying the outdoors, dog lovers that will do anything for an animal, people who collect garden gnomes, it's something they enjoy. Linus knows he will not see Star Wars Episode I, so when Eric realizes this he hatches a plan to go to Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy with the group. On the outside it's a buddy road trip movie, with it comes the hilarity, but deep down it wasn't about stealing one of the most anticipated movies to hit 1999, it's about knowing who your true friends are and spending one last adventure before it's too late, where Eric doesn't realize this until I think mid way through. Each of the characters find out who they are, and they too can follow their dreams no matter how big or ridiculous, Windows finally see Zoe for who she is not just a best friend but deep down actually loves her, it's reciprocal, and Hutch follows his dreams of opening an Automotive Detailing Business.
Anyways hilarity ensues when they stop in Iowa the birth place of one James Tiberius Kirk, and Hutch gets into a fight with a bunch of Trekkies, one played by Seth Rogen, who also plays a pimp in Vegas. And when they do reach Skywalker ranch they run into some very animated Security Guards played by Will Arnett, and Craig Robinson. With More cameos by Shatner, Carrie Fischer, Billy Dee Williams, Kevin Smith.
This film is funny, and heartwarming (kind of odd for this type, some will argue it should of been a straight up comedy/ road trip movie, why the downer of having a character with a Terminal Illness and all, it still worked in my opinion).... Saw this will be released on Blu Ray... hopefully with some decent Special Features.... over all any Star Wars fan, hell, any movie fan will enjoy this who likes comedy and a good laugh.
My husband loves it May 7, 2010

and that's who I bought it for, but it is a silly and crude at parts. But if you like geeking out on star wars, this will help you on your path.
