The money and passion some people put into this stuff is out of this world. I've always considered attending one of these events, if just for the experience. This alone was enough to get me interested in the film. Imagine a bunch of dudes in armour and robes with foam weapons playing out scenarios from Dungeons and Dragons. What is LARPing? Live-action-role- playing. "Knights of Badassdom" is about a group of friends whom, after one of the three getting dumped by his girlfriend, go to a LARP festival for the weekend to get his mind off her. As much as I wanted to love this movie, I just couldn't. While not the complete case here, "Knights of Badassdom" definitely needed another draft or two on its script. But every once and a while, there are movies of the sort that have so much potential and yet the end up squandered and falling short. They usually know precisely what they are, and therefore the audience ends up enjoying themselves all that much more when they watch it. There's something refreshing about a film that is only made for a certain, small audience.
