| io9.comAnnalee NewitzWhat's great about this movie is the way it remains so gentle and light, despite tackling a story that could get pretty dark. |
| Orange County RegisterMichael SragowThis movie about Live Action Role Players (or LARPers) -- men and women who act out Dungeons and Dragons in real settings, in costumes -- is so haphazard it might have been thought up during a game of Mad Libs. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoDear Joe Lynch, please let me see your Director’s Cut ASAP? Knights Of Badassdom is an unfinished product, but it passes based on the content our director was able to salvage. |

| Paste MagazineDan KaufmanThose who’ve had Knights of Badassdom on their radar all this time are likely to get some mild amusement and satisfaction out of seeing the LARPing community depicted as something other than viral video fodder. Everyone else will find it a frustrating exercise of missed opportunities, as rough around the edges as the fake Frank Frazetta painting on your cousin’s van. |
