Fanboys

This comedy, set in 1998, is about a group of Star Wars fans (4 nerdy guys and Kristen Bell) who go on a roadtrip to attempt to steal a pre-release copy of Phantom Menace from the Skywalker Ranch for their dying friend.
Traveling in the one guy’s Star Wars-pimped out van, along the way they have various misadventures, including a rumble with Trekkies in Iowa at a statue commemorating James Kirk’s future birthplace, and a Las Vegas science fiction convention.
There’s a lot of fun cameos from various aspects of fandom, which I’m not going to list here, so as not to spoil it. And it ends with a caper sequence onto George Lucas’s Inner Sanctum.
This is a funny film, affectionate towards nerds (although harsher on Trekkies than Star Warsers…uh, whatever you call Star Wars fans).
And even for the non-fan, it’s funny, the humor doesn’t depend on you being up on How Many Parsecs Han Solo Did The Kessel Run in. But, if you are a fan, there’s a lot to chortle at.
