jameslinton-75252 I love my sci-fi. I love Star Wars, Star Trek equally, so I always hate it when I see the two compared especially since they're as bad as each other.That's one thing I didn't like about this film. It portrayed both fanbases as elitist, unlikeable jerks, which isn't true at all. The characters were all immature and annoying and the humour was juvenile. Most of the jokes fell flat.I really did not like this film. It was a laugh-less affair that made me wish that I hadn't wasted an hour and half of my life watching it.Read my full review for more: http://goo.gl/xyl6ne

skantea-155-113487 Yes, a lot of the jokes fell flat but the problems IMO start way before that during the initial filming. First, why did they go with sub par filming equipment? High quality digital cameras are cheap now. Any film student can rent high quality cameras so that was clearly the first bad decision the producers made. Secondly, the directing was very basic, not imaginative but serviceable, which is why I can't figure out why they couldn't save this project in editing. Or, now that I think of it, maybe they did. Personally I think everyone was stoned most of the time but even so, with a tighter production crew, this could have been hilarious.

Mr-Fusion What's nice about "Fanboys" is that it takes us back to that pre-"Episode I" period when Star Wars fans weren't divided along trilogy lines (if you've spent much time on the Internet in the last, let's say 14 years, you'll know what I'm talking about). It was an innocent time, believe it or not.The charm of this movie is due to its cast. Our five heroes are a likable group of actors. Jay Baruchel, Dan Fogler and Kristen Bell get the best lines, and seeing Bell take down Fogler in a headlock was pretty funny. I do love her character's spunk. And the filmmakers went to some lengths fill out the rest with famous faces (the names here will surprise you). A lot of the humor here rests on cheap gags and a few tired jokes (most of which is aimed at the die-hards in the audience), but for the most part, "Fanboys" is a fun road trip.6/10

SnoopyStyle Four childhood friends and Star Wars fans decide to go cross-country to steal a copy of 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace' before its release from George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Eric (Sam Huntington) is on the cusp of real responsibility with the family car dealership. Windows (Jay Baruchel) has an online fling with a girl who says she has plans to Skywalker Ranch. Linus (Chris Marquette) is really sick and Hutch (Dan Fogler) is the loud-mouth idiot. Zoe (Kristen Bell) is Windows' co-worker at the video store. Seth Rogen plays Admiral Seasholtz, leader of the Trekies, and pimp Roach.This is definitely best for sci-fi fans. There is a lot of references to Star Wars, Star Trek, and quite frankly various other franchises. The movie just won't work if you don't know any of the references. Of course, there are all sorts of cameos from those series. Not all of the road trip works well. The roadside biker bar isn't that funny. The fight with the Trekkies is much better. When Zoe rejoins the group at the midpoint, she has a lot of fun with the geeks. Probably she should have been the fifth road tripper right from the start. While the constant referencing is funny, sometimes it needs a break to work more on the relationships.
