Critics Consensus

This undercooked, sporadically funny road movie is a sop to Star Wars fanatics, but the uninitiated will find little to enjoy.

James F It's a good goofy film to kill the time. Other than that it's not much more. I don't agree with the statement: "If you're a die hard fan you'll love this movie!" I'm a huge Star Wars fan and definitely don't feel that way. It has that early 2000's comedy style but nothing compared to a Judd Apatow movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review mike s Loved the movie. You do not have to be a fan to enjoy this movie, but if you are a star wars or star trek fan- you will go nuts watching it- cheering out loud at certain parts= amazing fun movie Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Erik D A Star Wars nerd movie, but funny nonetheless. Comedy is provided from the Kevin Smith/Judd Apatow playbook. By no means, is it a blockbuster, but it is a cool little movie to watch with the sci-fi friend Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Unclericos T Fun little comedy but nothing's really too original about it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review Jackson87 A Fanboys" is a 2009 comedy film that centers around a group of "Star Wars" fans who embark on a road trip to break into Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" before its release date. The movie captures the essence of the "Star Wars" fandom, and here are some reasons why it would be a great movie for any "Star Wars" fan:Nostalgia: "Fanboys" is set in 1998, during the hype leading up to the release of "The Phantom Menace." The movie takes the viewers on a nostalgic trip to a time when the original "Star Wars" trilogy was still fresh in the minds of fans, and the anticipation for the prequel was at its peak. It is a great comedy, and it has plenty of humor that will appeal to "Star Wars" fans. The characters are quirky, and their interactions are amusing. The movie also features several cameos from "Star Wars" actors, including Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, and Ray Park, which add to the humor. It is full of references and nods to the "Star Wars" universe, which will delight any "Star Wars" fan. The movie includes scenes that pay homage to the original trilogy, and the characters are constantly making "Star Wars" jokes and references. At its core, "Fanboys" is a movie about friendship. The characters have a strong bond that is built on their shared love for "Star Wars." The movie shows how the power of friendship can help people overcome any obstacle, even breaking into Skywalker Ranch. This is a movie that any "Star Wars" fan will enjoy. It's a fun, nostalgic, and humorous movie that captures the essence of the "Star Wars" fandom. The movie is a tribute to the franchise, and it will leave viewers feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Thunder J In my opinion I don't care what any paid Hollywood reviewer says this is one of those movies that you'll either love or hate a cult classic id say looking at the review bombs I've loved it since it came out idk it's just one of those movies that you watch 1 time then 2 times then over and over again and never gets old and don't mind watching if it came up on the telly I give it a solid 5/5 kept me interested the whole entire way maybe I'm just a sucker for pally adventures but I say it's a damn good one and interesting enough to keep you watching the whole way through listen these are movies ok don't be so serious and over analytical it's a movie not a nuclear bomb use your imagination a little bit it's more fun that way Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/22 Full Review Read all reviews
