Fanboys was originally shown as a preview during several movies that I saw. It never really made it huge in the theaters, but it did just recently come to DVD, courtesy of The Weinstein Company. The movie is basically a giant cliché to a lot of nerds out there. It does have a 90% delivery of Star Wars material along with a short 10% reference of the rival Star Trek. The movie also is packed with a ton of cameos from people like Kevin Smith, Ethan Suplee, Jason Mewes, Seth Rogen, Will Shatner, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, etc. All in all it is a big time comedy for the die hard Star Wars fans and for those who do enjoy a wild and adventurous comedy. The only two recognizable main stars are Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder, TV's Undeclared) and Dan Fogler (Balls of Fury, School For Scoundrels, Good Luck Chuck) along with Kristen Bell (TV's Veronica Mars, Forgetting Sarah Marshall). So basically you get what you ultimately expect from this one.
