in a manner that is both thoroughly entertaining and slyly confronting, FanBoys ends up being an affectionate lampoon of its own viewers and the lives that they live through the movies that they watch.

For those who get a gag like 'Looking for love in Alderaan places?' you don't have to worry if the movie is on your level or not.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 14, 2009

Buoyed by infectious high spirits and self-deprecating humour, the film works in strange and perhaps unintentional ways, thanks largely to the sustained energy of the lead actors, and writers Ernest Cline and Adam F. Goldberg.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2009

Turns out there is something more annoying than an infatuated bunch of Star Wars nerds. Turns out a movie about an infatuated bunch of Star Wars nerds can really set your teeth on edge.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 2, 2009

Fanboys is pretty much for fanboys.

| Original Score: C | Feb 20, 2009

It is a shame that a movie about the people who are most passionate about edgy, imaginative stories is itself slipshod and formulaic.

| Original Score: C | Feb 19, 2009

Genial and potty-mouthed and dumb and sweet -- a rudely engaging road comedy with more inside Star Wars baseball than a convention hall full of Imperial Grand Moffs.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 19, 2009

Fanboys doesn't delve into the mania of fandom, it exploits it.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 9, 2009

You'd think the weakest link in Fanboys would be that it's all in-jokes, but they're actually not so 'in' that a casual fan won't get them.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2009

Though it does feature a few inspired comic moments, there is a surplus of tired, overused gags.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 6, 2009

Uninspired and only faintly funny.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 6, 2009

At this point, Lucas is in no position to be picky about his remaining fans.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 6, 2009

It's not nearly nerdy enough.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2009

Even geeks enjoy poking fun at geeks. And they really know how.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 6, 2009

The plot device of young men who refuse to mature has never felt more exhausted, maybe because these actors or ones who look like them have already done this shtick in other movies.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 6, 2009

After years of expectation, Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace didn't work for most fans of the franchise. Ironically, it feels like people may say the same thing about Fanboys.

| Feb 5, 2009

For its amusing premise, Fanboys is scarily flat.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 5, 2009
