Summary: Would Easily Work As A Trailer For The Next Star Wars
Review: George Lucas In Love is an excellent example of what a student film should be: It gives us a taste of the director's style. The fact that he was able to add so many elements to a nine minute film is truly outstanding! When watching this film make sure to take notice of the use of camera angles and the timing of the whole film. That is what makes this something you should go out and purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High quality film short
Review: GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is a parody of "Shakespeare in Love" featuring the life of a 1967 George Lucas in USC film school. This film is less than 10 minutes long, but manages to cram joke after joke in, alluding to many of the characters George Lucas has created for his films (not limited to the STAR WARS films).

The filming, acting, and score is superb. My complaint is similar to others: it wasn't long enough. I also feel like the script could have used a little more polish. However, this short film is a fun and diverting fantasy, adding another dimension of folklore to the layered theories surrounding the STAR WARS series and its much-revered creator.

Summary: A Great Parody
Review: I loved this movie! It's too bad it's so short! My wife didn't get it -- she thought it was about the making of Star Wars, even though she made me watch Shakespeare in Love. I have to watch Shakespeare in Love again just to see how George Lucas in Love parodies it. I can't believe it is a student production because it is so sophisticated.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: THIS JUST IN: THE NOODLE HAS WON THE RACE!

Summary: A must for Star Wars connoisseurs - irrelevant for the rest
Review: If you know your Star Wars characters and plots inside out this short movie is loaded with funny scenes relating to the SW films. But you have to pay attention - some clips are really short. And you will probably miss something anyway (there is supposed to be a reference to Anakin somewhere but I missed that apparently). If you are not into the SW movies this movie is of no value to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Genius! Pure genius! Best parody I've ever seen!
Review: For fans of Star Wars, this is an absolute must see! Fans of Shakespeare in Love will roll when they see this movie, for the simple fact that they will pick up many of the subtleties of humor that us "just plain" Star Wars fans would probably miss.

For my own part, after reading the reviews of this movie when in first came out, I went to the website and watched the movie online before I bought it. The blatant Star Wars allusions -- from the asthmatic rival, to the not-so-subtle background action -- are absolutely hysterical, but I knew that I was missing something. That night, I went to the video store and rented SIL just so I could understand what it had to do with the parody. I can now say with absolute assurance that if you're a fan of both films, George Lucas in Love will probably be the best parody you will ever see!

Oh... one more thing -- if you watched this movie on the Web and thought it was hilarious, I would still encourage you to buy it. There is a surprise ending on the video (not shown on the Internet version) that is, in my opinion, the best moment in the whole film. What is it, you ask? Now now, you'll have to buy it, and see for yourself!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Props to the makers of this ingenious little movie. To say anything is to give away all the gags, which are hilarious. If you are a fan of Star Wars, there's really no reason not to love this short film. My friend and I about died laughing at some of the injokes.

I guess my only complaint would be that I wish it were longer, to satisfy my thirst for more of this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It won't blow your mind.
Review: A co-worker, a huge "Star Wars" fan, breathlessly brought this video to work and had me borrow it. "It's so great!," he promised. Eh... My friends have made more effective nine minute movies, but it's not hard to understand why this film sells so well -- there's an endless supply of mythology for devotees of "Star Wars," and this movie exposes it, if not skillfully, at least blatantly. Few of the so-called "inspiration" shots really work well -- Obi-Wan and Jabba work because they're more subtle. The Darth Vader and R2D2/C3PO ones stretch for believability -- I know there's weirdos at any university at any time, but these caricatures try a little too hard as written (if what I'm writing doesn't make sense, it's because I'm trying to not give the movie away). Really good filmmakers (and remember that Nussbaum is still new at this) don't pander in such obvious ways. Still, the acting's good, it's reasonably well-made, and there's only nine minutes of it, so you don't have too long to dwell on shortcomings anyway. Not a bad purchase for "Star Wars" freaks.
