Preview: Fanboys (2009)

Synopsis:

A farcical comedy about a group of Star Wars fanboys who plot to sneak into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.

• Poster: B

Review:

This looks like the poster for The 40-Year-Old Virgin with a Darth Vader helmet on. If that's the intention, I'd say it's brilliant. If it's not, then it's just merely humorous.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The most interesting thing about this trailer is how much I know my friends will love it. And since this film is targeted at all the Star Wars fanboys out there, I'd say it succeeds. However, stepping back and looking at it critically, the film doesn't seem to have anywhere to go from the trailer, suggesting it's really just a one-stop geek shop.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
