      Blake H The script is unique, hilarious & full of creative scenes. This is a true gem, as it should be, it is a film about a treasure hunt afterall. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Kathryn J What a wonderful film. Everything about it was terrific - script, acting, music, concept. I want to see it again; it was that much fun. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Uneven but I liked it anyway. Would have been better if the directors had brought a consistent tone of their own to connect the stylized bits that are (lovingly) aped from other directors. Please put Hannibal Buress in all the twee movies from now on. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review adam b I've never read Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Fin and I haven't watched any adaptations of the books before but I had a central idea of the plot. Pleasantly surprising. The entire cast is great and the story moves along at such a nice pace. A must see for fans of adventure films Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The utilization of the green and red contrast is used beautifully throughout the film by the Nee brothers. A very amusing and fun film following a band of nitwits as they pull off a heist where everything goes wrong. The acting was great as well as the interesting and different plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member There are some clever conceits buoying up the film, and a whole host of terrific performances that make it worth watching, but too often the execution falls flat, the underlying premise-Tom Sawyer as a young millennial adult in the contemporary South-never quite clicking with its beloved source material. Tom and Huck, when grown up and updated, no longer feel like a pair of mischievous rapscallions, but a couple of overgrown assholes who wreak destruction not only in their own lives, but those of total and innocent strangers. Tom is still affable and charming, but unlike the book, which is told through Huck's eyes-not just his voice, not just through colorful narration, but via the unreliability of Huck's own subjective experience-the film never sinks deeply enough into Huck's perspective to overlook Tom's tomfoolery for what it is: Opportunistic hornswoggle.

      Jason Bailey Flavorwire Sharp, funny, big-hearted, and absolutely true to the spirit of the author in question. Apr 27, 2016 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Band of Robbers doesn't quite spin its imaginative conceit into comic gold, but it offers some minor pleasures along the way. Jan 21, 2016 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety This clever updating of Mark Twain finds Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer involved in a comic caper. Jan 16, 2016 Full Review Beth McDonough The Babbling Blonde Although often clumsy and out of sync, the brand of comedic twists on Twain's famous literary figures and setting make Band of Robbers an adequate tale of fan fiction. Rated: C+ May 10, 2019 Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth One minute it's a breezy comedy sailing along with laughter, and then before you know it you're fearing for the lives of characters without an effective tonal shift Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Indra Arriaga Anchorage Press Forget the plot, forget the moral lessons, the acting is reason enough to see Band of Robbers.
