Four guys from the Midwest drive across the country to honor the wish of their dying friend: to watch Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch before the movie's worldwide release.
This is a really fun, sweet movie. I don't usually like road trip movies much, but this one really appealed to me. I guess I have respect for Star Wars nerds (especially when they're up against Trekkies. *shudders* I have a phobia) and I myself speak in dorky film references, which endeared all these characters to me. The dialogue and visual gags all hit their marks, and the story, while simple, worked really really well. I love how the writers tiptoed around the fact that Phantom Menace was lousy while keeping their respect for the saga intact. I'd see this again. I really like it.
lol, too funny! A feel good movie, with a bunch of good laughs!
5 stars but I felt the movie should have been made 7-8 years ago before episode 2 came out. I did laugh lots and it was a great movie just a little ill timed.
