Movie: Fan Boys (2008)
Genre: Comedy

Bored one night, I was surfing around looking for something good to watch and stumbled upon Fan Boys. This movie freaking a hilarious and I have no idea why. I also haven’t the faintest clue how I managed to miss this movie for over a year, it’s something I can see myself watching.

Short form summary is that 4 star wars fan boys / high school friends decide to take a road trip to the Skywalker Ranch to steal Star Wars: Episode 1 before it gets released in theaters. They do stupid shit along the way. This movie falls in the same category as Super Bad, Eurotrip, American Pie and anything good made by Kevin Smith: It’s funny just because it’s genuinely dumb and unrealistic, but you can see one of your friends doing it. A little spoiler for you all, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes make a short cameo in it. That should be reason enough to go see it.

I don’t want to recap too much of this movie, as the plot line itself is pretty standard. Instead, I’m going to just give some point forms that I found awesome, which do include spoilers.

• The have a van with an R2D2 head on it, a light speed button and the Leia/Han painting on the side.

• They make fun of Jar Jar Binks
• Comment on naming their hands Princess Leia.
• Constantly make fun of Trekkies.
• Rush is one of the greatest bands of all time.
• William Shatner mother fucker!

This movie was great, but could have been better. I’ve watched it 3 times, and I think I’m done.
Final Rating: 7.5/10
