On a whole the premise of the story seems to be relatively promising, four Star Wars fanboys are all waiting anxiously for the release of the highly anticipated Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace. But as news comes that one of the characters has only a few months to live, they decide to break into Skywalker Ranch to see the film they've been desperate to see for so long.
As I said, the film seems to have an entertaining plot, there are some laughable moments and a monumentally geeky cameo from Mr. Seth Rogen, who seems to have two parts in it. But that's really where it ends, the plot becomes too mushy for my liking, it falls into the inevitable happy ending category. Though to be fair, the acting on the most part was cheesy (to say the least) from the start, especially the unbearable performance from Sam Huntington, who seems to exude a charmless manner that really grates on you towards the end. It truly is a film I recommend you not view.
