  Fanboys by name, fanboys by nature.
  
  Being a massive geek, I knew this film would appeal to me from the start. What I didn't realise is that it would actually be pretty good!

  Very poor
  
  Below-par road movie. Very boring, even for Star Wars fans. Little to like about the characters, very slow paced script, really disappointing. Avoid.
