Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Buoyed by infectious high spirits and self-deprecating humour, the film works in strange and perhaps unintentional ways, thanks largely to the sustained energy of the lead actors, and writers Ernest Cline and Adam F. Goldberg.

Turns out there is something more annoying than an infatuated bunch of Star Wars nerds. Turns out a movie about an infatuated bunch of Star Wars nerds can really set your teeth on edge.

It was a great premise, it just unfortunately did not come together.

A lot of promise here, no execution.

Any film that turns R2-D2 into a lusty anatomical nickname can't be all bad.
