my brief thoughts on.... 'Fanboys'

so you want to see a movie written for fanboys about fanboys....? well, this is that movie.... and for some reason, i'm wondering what took me so long to see it....?!?! this movie is full of inside jokes.... nerd jokes.... movie jokes.... comic jokes.... and quoteable moments.... this movie is every fanboys dream.... right down to the lead girl in the Lea bikini from 'Jedi'.... not too mention it's about the 'Star Wars' movies.... and even touches on the 'Star Wars' vs. 'Star Trek' battle.... it's full of funny cameos.... it's never boring and the script is hilarious.... this movie has just about everything you could ask for.... i don't know that anything i could write would really do it justice.... you just have to see it to enjoy it.... and it's already got a spot on my DVD shelf for the day that i own it.... and, oh yes, i will own it.... this is one of those movies that you can watch over and over and enjoy it every time.... i think this will stand the test of time....

the premise involves the upcoming release of 'The Phantom Menace' and a group of fanboys who are counting down the days to see it.... they even have a plan to make a trip to Skywalker ranch to steal a print and see it 6 months before anyone else.... all of this is just talk until they find out that one of them has cancer and may not live to see it's release.... so they start off on a roadtrip across country to see if they can make their dream come true....
this movie has so much going for it.... and there is one scene in particular involving two famous folks that made me laugh so hard i nearly passed out.... and then pooped myself.... granted the whole movie doesn't have moments like that.... but it's still a very funny and entertaining movie.... something that i gave 4 out of 5 stars and recommend that all fanboys and girls go and watch.... if you haven't seen it already.... i know i look forward to seeing it again.... it's a rollercoaster ride of comedy and drama that is a just a great example of what good filmaking should be.... go watch it tonight....

other movies to watch: 'The Phantom Menace', 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' and 'Film Geek'
