Fanboys

 

USA 2008, 90 minutes
Dir. Kyle Newman
Genres: Comedy / Road Movie

 

Aroview: Goofy comedy focused around a group of friends who hatch a plan to infiltrate the Skywalker Ranch and steal an early copy of STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 before one of them dies of cancer.

Despite bringing nothing new to the 'man-child' formula (we get it, they haven't grown up), this is ultimately a loving homage to geekery, albeit one that is observational rather than captious: what makes a geek a geek? Why are these men such losers? This doesn't provide the answers, instead falling back on an endless supply of references and cameos that will at least satisfy its core audience's need for self-recognition.
