Oh my, what a complete bore of a movie.
Oh my where to start? Well first off is Dan Fogler who is this filthy looking long haired dude who looks way to old to be hanging with these guys. Then we have Chris Marquette who is this Star Wars nerd who takes it way too seriously and to throw in some unneeded drama we learn that he has cancer. Jay Baruchel plays the stereotypical nerd with glasses. Sam Huntington plays the only character who seems to have grown up at all. In fact I would have liked to see a movie about his character at the car dealership and his dad.
The road trip is composed of typical hijinks such as a fight between them and Trekkies, the gay biker bar, the getting high camp fire scene, getting thrown in jail and a side trip to Vegas. None of it laugh out loud funny. Most of it is just embarrassing.
The highlight is the cameos by Billie Dee Williams, William Shatner, .Carrie Fisher, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. And when the cameos are the highlight you know that the film is a bore. You would think that they at least would throw in a George Lucas cameo. If you're going to make a movie about Star Wars you need to include the man who created it.
The entire cancer subplot wasn't needed at all. It simply doesn't work for me and actually seems forced into the story.
I swear I laugh more at the Robot Chicken or Family Guy spoofs than this movie.
