Fanboys Ratings & Reviews
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
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.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Fanboys is pretty much for fanboys.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
It is a shame that a movie about the people who are most passionate about edgy, imaginative stories is itself slipshod and formulaic.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
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.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Fanboys doesn't delve into the mania of fandom, it exploits it.
NPR
Bob Mondello
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.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Though it does feature a few inspired comic moments, there is a surplus of tired, overused gags.
San Francisco Chronicle
Reyhan Harmanci
Uninspired and only faintly funny.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
At this point, Lucas is in no position to be picky about his remaining fans.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
It's not nearly nerdy enough.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
Even geeks enjoy poking fun at geeks. And they really know how.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
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.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
For its amusing premise, Fanboys is scarily flat.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
While it may score some points as an extended in-joke, the mix of juvenile comedy and insider asides is arcane, snobby and just not very funny.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It's hard to imagine any sort of alchemy transforming the script's parade of Star Wars references and tired nostalgic '90s signifiers into gold, or -- this many years after Jar Jar Binks -- make their passion seem anything but sadly misplaced.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Much as Robert Zemeckis toyed with Beatlemania in I Wanna Hold Your Hand a generation ago, the wobbly new comedy Fanboys, set in 1998, salutes Yoda worship and the fine line between ardor and breaking and entering.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Lucas' presence looms in the flick's uneasy balance between rapt devotion and sly foreshadowing of the franchise fans' bitter days to come.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A rote comedy that tries to pay tribute to this much-maligned subculture, but instead resorts to lazy stereotypes and comedy conventions.
