Review of Knights of Badassdom (2014) by Lane Z — 04 Mar 2014
From the start you think, wow, a low budget LARPer movie involving a cast only diehards could love. You're probably exactly right. This kind of film is very niche. Not many outside the realm of D&D and LARPing and silly humor will really enjoy Knights of Badassdom to its fullest extent.
Unfortunately, this was a film that was supposed to come out almost 2 years ago and due to financial trouble and final cut rights between studio and director, it was shelved. Kwanten, Zahn, Dinklage, and Glau really are a great team.
The film moves a little faster than I would have liked. If you compare it to Role Models, this film goes deeper into the LARPing. Whereas Role Models was a quest for redemption of person, this is about getting over an ex.
It was funny. It had some silly moments you can laugh at. The effects and costumes won't blow you away and are mostly silly, and the final act gets a little silly, but I thought it was all a nice blend of weirdness to throw at you for 90 minutes.
