The wife and I caught "Fanboys" on cable this weekend. It's stupid and pretty damned funny.
"Four childhood friends (now theoretically adults) make a pact on Halloween night in 1998 to infiltrate the Skywalker Ranch in hopes of catching a rough cut of the long-awaited "Star Wars" prequel, "The Phantom Menace.". It's a sophomoric road movie but there's a host in-jokes that are even funnier to fanboys and film buffs. There are some obvious and some sublime cameos in the film. (Yeah i used "sublime" blogging about a dumb-ass road comedy, try it yourself you might like it.)

Here's a trailer that actually gives away some stuff it shouldn't:

I just saw this recently, too. Very funny, indeed. Death to Spock Suckers! ;)
