Set in 1998, the film, starring Jay Baruchel, Tony Award Winner Dan Fogler, Sam Huntington, Chris Marquette, and Kristen Bell is a heart-warming comedy that follows a group of young, passionate STAR WARS fans on a cross-country quest to break into George Lucas Skywalker Ranch and watch STAR WARS: EPISODE 1- THE PHANTOM MENACE, before its released.

I usually hate films like this and maybe its just because I love star wars but I'll probably check this out.

This has been out Stateside for a while. I heard it was boring geek fodder. No wit or creativity, just countless nerd culture references. Like those stupid "Date Movie, Super Hero Movie, Inane Movie" movies.

It could surprise, but the trailer didn't seem to reach much beyond that either.

SPOILER: They watch the movie and hate it.

Never heard of this flick before, but 20 quid says that happens.

Meh, it's the idea that instead of a writing a well crafted joke, or developing a humorous situation, they just make a reference to a well-known cultural event as a punchline or as the only funny part of a scene. Anyone can do it, and it's largely considered one of the lower forms of comedic writing. But, of course if it makes you laugh, don't let that be any reason to deter you from watching. :biggrin:

Well, Family Guy can be very funny, and that's the entire crux of the show. So, if it's done well, it can be really enjoyable. It's just looked down on by most writers and critics. I happen to be professionals in both, therefor my opinion is far above that of anyone else.
