Review of Fanboys (2009) by Kai82 — 25 Mar 2023
I think this is a funny and enjoyable movie for Star Wars fans that others can not enjoy on the same level. The story is set in 1998 and Star Wars Episode 1 is announced. Because their friend Linus has terminal cancer and will not be alive when the movie is released in cinema an old (silly) plan from their childhood is reactivated.
They want to break into the Skywalker Ranch and steal the movie aka rough cut for their friend. This starts their odyssey. Like I said this is a comedy for Star Wars fans that other probably wont enjoy that much.
However since I am a fan this gets a pass. It is a funny tour the force against the odds. It even got George Lucas blessing and a lot of cameos from a lot of bigger names in the industrie. Because of the small budget from slightly less than 1 million and the passion of the whole team and actors I wont say anything negative.
They put their hearth and soul into it and I have seen much weaker big budget Hollywood productions. Overall I repeat the statement that it is a movie for Star Wars fans. Maybe not a must see but definitely entertaining.
I gave an 8/10.
