Ok, before I get to the Fanboys review, my apologies to all of my friends and fellow bloggers here. I have been neglect in keeping up with the blogs lately, for many different reasons but they are really no excuse, and I will try harder to get back into the swing of things here as I truly miss you all.

Speaking of missing my fellow geeks, let's talk about the film "Fanboys."

I managed to go see it last week on the opening weekend and I must say I was disappointed in the turn out at the theater: I was hoping for some fellow fanboys to share the experience with and instead found a theater not even half full, which I found rather sad.

The film itself, though, is a LOT of fun and a loving tribute to US, the fans, male and female, of George Lucas's GFFA.

The story centers on 5 friends who decide to take a cross country trip to break into Lucasfilm Ranch and steal copy of the unreleased Episode I film for their dying friend who will not make it to the films theatrical release date.

While this sounds like it could be depressing, it is treated in a fashion that keeps the film light hearted and fun without being disrespectful or insulting.

The film is zany in some spots, tongue in cheek in others, but always treats the Star Wars fans with respect even when poking fun at some of our more interesting quirks.

Some great cameos and LOTS of Star Wars and other film references, some obvious and some not quite so obvious, make the film a treat for anyone who loves a good obscure film reference.

It will also make you misty eyed for the days of camping out for a Star Wars film or wandering around a Star Wars Con or just hanging out with a group of your fellow geeks.

It is rated PG-13 for some crude language and humor, and a few drug references, so parents may want to take that into consideration.

I hope this film gets expanded into wide release because I think it would be a fun experience for Star Wars fans to get together in large groups to go see, but even if it winds up just going to DVD in a couple of weeks make sure you rent or buy a copy, invite some fellow geeks over, and enjoy this film.
