kyshak2 Pot. Metal music. LARPing. Gaming (card\board\dice RPG and\or video). Old school monster (Godzilla...) movies. Heck, Catholic church services (chanting in Latin, anyone)? Ring any bells? Then sit back, and get ready to take a trip down memory lane! I admit, I went into this movie thinking it was going to be a piece of shit. I loved it. Loved. It. I don't understand the negative reviews. I saw my old college self in the characters (sorry Mom and Dad-lol)! I noticed one of the production companies is called North by Northwest, and that it was filmed in Spokane. Maybe dork/geek humor is regional??? Again, I can't understand the horrible reviews. I thought this movie was hysterical. It starts off slow, but by the end...dear God.

beaujinx-2 This is a popcorn movie, and one that was made on the cheap. You can't expect an epic like the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy from a production with a budget like a "Little Rascals" neighborhood play. So chill out, pop some of that popcorn, grab a cold soda, and kick back and enjoy.FYI - There was one aspect, towards the end, that I was a little disappointed with.....but what the hell. Unfortunately, I can't add any more detail to this comment without risking a spoiler.BTW - Normally I would have given this a rating of 7 or 8, but since it is deserving of a much higher average than the measly 5.7 that it currently has, I've given it a perfect 10!

jaywensley2004 LARP's on a lark get chewed up and spit out for laughs in "Knights of Badassdom" (BTW: a terrible title!). The elaborate medieval role players are nothing but gore fodder, the production values are surprisingly high (the costumes are brilliant) and one of my favorite actresses (Summer Glau) is a highlight as she vamps it up in a pretty-good bad movie. This movie is made to order for Riff Trax, or just gather your nerdiest friends for a night of (deliberately) cringe-worthy dialogue and as fine a rednecks vs. nerds battle as has ever been filmed.I would compare this movie to "Sharknado" in that both give the impression of being movies that were originally written as serious genre films (disaster and horror respectively) and someone had the sense to make them so over the top as to become entertaining camp.

arthera09 This movie was not bad, but I would not call it good either. There were some laughs to be had at the expense of the nerdiness of the situation, but for the most part it not particularly funny. I did not like how it seemed to make fun of the LARPing community. I would have preferred to see a less patronizing portrayal of LARPers. The best thing about the movie is the cast is pretty engaging with the exception of Summer Glau which was half of the reason I watch this movie. I have not seen in her anything other than Firefly and a few episodes of the Sarah Connor Chronicles and I was not particularly impressed. The rest of the cast really got into it and it looked like they were having a lot of fun. It was over the top with the violence and chessiness at moments, but then tried to throw in some stupid love connection that never clicked for me. Not really worth watching unless you want to see some serious LARPing going on in the background.
