Review of LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace (2011) by Josh R — 12 Nov 2011

Booklover11's Mini Reviews: This has got to be one of the funniest movies I've seen since Charlie Chaplin and The Blues Brothers. I'm dead serious, this is laugh out loud funny, great jokes, great animation, and it even pushes itself more to adults, with pop culture references and awesome comedic timing. I just want to name every single scene that made me laugh out loud in this film. Actually, I'm going to do it. The film's only 22 minutes long, I want to show how much I like this film by naming the most clever scenes in order:

The Top 5 Funniest Scenes In This Film (5=Least Funny, 1=Most Funny).

5. Younglings are returning from a field trip in space, where they come across Anakin Skywalker fighting an opponent in a space ship, possibly from Episode: III, where him and his opponent stop for several seconds just to have pictures taken. Nice and quick. How Funny?: 7/10.

4. Yoda tells Han Solo to sleep in the stomach of a creature in Hoth, like in Episode: V, where a Droid immediately pops out of the stomach and get's shot by Yoda. Random, but funny. How Funny?: 8/10.

3. R2-D2 and C-3PO are captured by Jabba, and forced into fighting each other, and C-3PO says he can't fight his best friend, which is immediately followed by R2-D2 attempting to beat C-3PO senseless. Just hilarious. How Funny?: 9/10.

2. R2-D2 and C-3PO are about to enter the bar from Episode: IV, but R2-D2 shows C-3PO the scene from episode IV where C-3PO was kicked out of the bar for being a droid. Awesome reference. How Funny?: 9/10.

1. This is a running joke that just made me burst out laughing, all three times. A regular scene happens, it's all fine and good, and then Darth Vader pops out, trying to get a cameo in the film. Each time, George Lucas (Character, not the actually George Lucas) walks onto the set and tells Vader "This isn't your Scene". How Funny?: 10/10.

Well, I did it. All the scenes that made me laugh out loud, and this was only in 22 minutes, and there were some jokes I left out just because they weren't as funny, like Jar Jar's appearance, where he starts speaking in that weird accent, and only in 4 seconds, get's shot to pieces, with him screaming comically. That was the only time Jar Jar made me laugh. Seriously, though, this is a hilarious short, with several minor flaws, like the children characters/actors were kinda annoying, but I don't care, there's a funny joke every minute, so it's not that hard to watch those boring scenes. Overall: It's awesome. Recommended to fans of Lego and Star Wars, and children, as they'll definitely enjoy it as much as I did. 5 Stars.
