Fanboys


Fanboys is a film that happends right before the premier of Star Wars Episode 1. A group of friends who had a shop about starwars products and comics, they were all adicted to the films.
When they discover that one of his friends has cancer and wil not survive to see the premier they plan a road trip all the way to Skywalker's ranch to steal the movie.
Lots of funny stuff happend, including a fight between Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans.
The movie is a representation of the nerd culture of the 90's . And also includes an interesting question inside Eric(one of the friends) story, it is necessary to gave up every thing you like to 'grow up'?

- He can super size only when asked;
- He han to eat everything from de menu at least once;
- He has to eat three meals a day.
He had to eat 2100 calories a day to maintain his weigth, but on his McDonald's diet he has eaten about 5000 calories a day. To walk a mile it's necesserie to take 2000 steps. An average office worker take 300 steps in a day. Morgan limited himself to 5000 steps in a day.
His girlfriend was a vegan cheff and at the beggining of the project his weight was 84kgs and his body percentage was 11%.
McDonald's super size fries has more than 600 calories and there are 12 ounces in a supersize soda. Morgan gained 9.5 pounds weight in 5 days, and at his 2nd weigh-in he gained 17.5 pounds.
