To say I'm into Star Wars is a understatement in the truest sense of the word. It was what brought me into my geekdom, so when I saw the trailer to this movie what seems like 5 years ago I was ecstatic finally a movie for people like me that wasn't Completely making fun of us. When I found out about the cancer sub plot and how they wanted to break into Skywalker Ranch to steal a print because there friend wasn't gonna make it to see it in the theater was just a really cool thing to do. It wasn't making just a normal slapstick B&E caper they had a purpose. So after many trailers and re cuts (to exclude the cancer sub plot) and just plain "development hell" this movie didn't get the release it deserved to say limited release would be an insult to the word I don't even think it played in 4 or 5 theaters in NYC for pete's sake. So when I finally got to see it on DVD (suspicious no Blu-Ray version). I saw that Harvey and Bob decided to put it out with the original Cancer sub plot which really made the movie better. The story in short is about a group of friends who used to hang out in high school and one of these guy stopped talking because he "grew up" and didn't want to sit around and talk "Wars" all the time. So he finds out about his best friend from childhood has terminal cancer and wants to try to break into the Lucas camp to watch Episode 1 a scheme they planned as teens. So after some convincing they embark on a cross country trip in there geek van to go see this movie. Hijinks ensue, the occasional run in with "trekkers" and cops. The movie is just well thought out and quite funny. Jay Baruchel is always entertaining along with Kristen Bell who is just awesome in this and frankly everything. the rest of the cast do really well in this highly rewatchable movie.Now Dan Fogler i don't have a problem with him its just he gets cast as Jack Black in every movie i have seen him in i don't get that. My favorite line in the movie is when one of the character tells Sam Huntingtons "Eric" "its nice to see you back in uniform" when he wears a Star Wars shirt after wearing mostly button down shirts. This a is a definite BUY for any Star Wars fan or any ol' geek like myself. Make it so and may the force be with you. Thanks for reading. Till next time.
