A Fanboy's Dream

Ok, Wow! I cannot tell you how long I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this movie, which is a polite a way of saying I cannot tell you how long I've been crying like a baby waiting for the release of this movie throwing little girl tantrums everytime it said it was coming and then didn't. But, drumroll please... are you drumming?... are you using your hands or did you go find some pens or chopsticks or something?... who cares, cuz Fanboys is here!

This movie does what every boy or girl or man or woman or hermaphrodite who loved Star Wars always wanted to do; make a comedy about Star Wars about people who love Star Wars while lovingly making fun of Star Wars.

Star Wars.

Fanboys was not only hysterical, it paid an incredible homage to Star Wars and the rest of geekdom, taking only real hits at things that deserve it, like: Michael Bay, Trekkies, and Jar-Jar Binks.

The Wars references were amazing and plentiful, the jokes timely and hilarious, and the film was well made. Hilarious acting with a ton of awesome cameos including Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian themselves, this movie was a dream come true for the little Han Solo living inside of me. It even finishes off with a really touching ending that breaks your heart yet doesn't break with the feel of the movie.

I seriously cannot say enough about this flick, so I'm going to keep this short and say "see it." If you appreciate Star Wars or your just a movie geek or you just like movies, or you just want to sit down and look at a lighted screen, make it a Fanboys lighted screen.

Fanboys gets 6/6 from me. Here's what The Brew's view.
