[E]ven while it's apparently not what its creators intended, Knights Of Badassdom is perfectly enjoyable in a low-key way, with sharp performances [...] and a nigh-endless string of cameos

Rated: 3.0/5

"Knights of Badassdom" actually delivers everything the 2011 Danny McBride-James Franco comedy "Your Highness" purported to be but fell short on.

TheWrap

A one-note joke and a whiff of a story that fails to offer a single reason - literal or metaphorical - why dressing up as a fictional character is enjoyable or rewarding.

Supernatural slasher haunts a live-action role-playing game. The cast is clearly having fun, but none of it rubs off on us; Peter Dinklage and Steve Zahn are completely squandered.

SF Crowsnest

Knights Of Badassdom is an uneven creepy concoction but still somewhat excels at mixing its cheesy lampooning of LARP-oriented escapism with the cliched grossness of tired horror flicks. It is feisty and joyously absurd

Rated: 2.5/4

What's great about this movie is the way it remains so gentle and light, despite tackling a story that could get pretty dark.

Really stupid fun watch. It is not a "good" movie but at 85 minutes it is just a fun ride. Steve , Peter Dinklage and Summer Glau what is not to like.

This is one of those movies that is so bad that it's good. It stars a bunch of great actors and had some really memorable scenes/lines. It truly is a cult classic.
