(More customer reviews)Okay. I couldn't resist. I was walking up the DVD aisle in the local Target the other day and I saw this DVD for $2.99. I said to myself, "You've got to be kidding me. How did this movie ever get marketed?" But, I soon found myself, copy in hand, waiting in the checkout line.
Upon playing the movie, I was worried. It took quite a while to get introduced to all of the "important players" in the line and, for the first half hour, I was pretty bored and didn't think I would make it all the way through. But then, as time rolled on, I found myself getting absorbed in the lives of these people who had travelled to Hollywood in order to stand in line for six weeks. There is plenty of drama in this reality-based movie, as the people get pretty frazzled by each other after being in a closed space for weeks on end with one another.
Some of the characters are funny, some are laid back, and some are real jerks. It is hard to watch a film that tends to focus on the jerks, lovingly following them around to pick up on the random rants and tantrums they throw about various issues. You just end up wondering what these guys problem is. But fortunately, there is other content in the film to make up for these tense moments.
In conclusion, I'm not sure why I found STAR WAIT interesting. One sort of wishes to follow up on these folks and see where they are and the included "sequel" to the film is not enough. It seems sad that the energy is gone, even if these individuals are a bit geeky and can spend six weeks of their lives waiting on a street corner. If you are a Star Wars fan, you should get the movie. If you are a fan of reality tv and documentaries, you will also find it strangely entertaining. And hey, for under five dollars, you can't go wrong.

Every time a new Star Wars film comes out, they start lining up. Hundreds of devoted Star Wars fans line up outside Grauman's Chinese Theater a full 6 weeks before each Star Wars opening.But who are these people? HOw do they deal with the non-Star Wars fans making fun of them? And of course, how do they go to the bathroom? Star Wait has all these answers and more.For 6 weeks the filmmakers of Star Wait stood in line with these crazy fans with camera in hand to bring you a sort of reality show/ documentary look at a Star Wars line.This DVD also includes bonus celebrity commentaries from:-The original members of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Joel Hodgson, Trace Bellieu, Josh Weinstein)-Cast members from Freaks and Geeks (Samm Levine and John Daley)-Amy Allen (Episodes II and III)-Dana Gould (The Simpsons)-Paget Brewster (Huff, Friends)-Paul F. Tompkins (Mr. Show)-Jason Guy (Big Brother 3)-Special commentary from the punk rockers that got in a fight with the line members (Dave From Clit 45) and many more!
