More Detail:
FANBOYS is an ode to the STAR WARS movie franchise. As one big “inside joke” to STAR WARS fans, the movie is sometimes funny. Ultimately, however, the movie’s crude content journeys to the dark side and eclipses the story’s force.
Set in 1998, five friends journey across country to the famed Skywalker Ranch to steal an early copy of STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE. When they learn that one of their friends is going to die from cancer a few months before the theatrical opening of the famed series’ prequel, they set out to break into Skywalker Ranch so they can make his last wish come true.
Along their journey, the friends go on the run from the police, are forced to strip dance in a homosexual bar, smoke peyote with a Native American and have visions of Ewoks, and get into a hilarious scuffle with STAR TREK fans. The movie does contain a heartwarming ending that emphasizes the bonds of friendship, but it hardly outweighs the movie’s flaws.
Filled with bizarre situations that could only happen in a galaxy far, far away, FANBOYS has a lot of storytelling problems as well as characters that seem stuck in a sophomoric state of cognitive development. Dramatically, the movie fails in almost every way except as a sometimes-hilarious ode to STAR WARS fans, but even that falls far below the epic scope of George Lucas’ mythical vision.
The movie’s content also does not do justice to the saga. It is filled with crude, sexual jokes, including strong homosexual content, as well as strong foul language and some drug use. Thus, true fans of the STAR WARS movie would be well served to ignore FANBOYS and enjoy more worthwhile entertainment.
