Band of Robbers Reviews
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
In addition to Twain, the directors clearly worship the Coens, specifically "Raising Arizona." And that's OK.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The filmmakers have described "Band of Robbers" as fan fiction, and that feels about right: They don't quite hit the mark, but it's fun to watch them trying.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
I think it's a bad idea that's badly done in at least two ways, maybe three, but however many there are they're all fatal.
AV Club
Noel Murray
In its goofier opening half, Band Of Robbers spends so much time giving every story-point a Sawyer/Finn context that the gimmick eventually becomes stifling.
The Young Folks
Matt Conway
Capturing the heart of the novel and injecting a quirky, introspective sensibility, here is an example of filmmaking at its most inspired.
Slant Magazine
Nick Prigge
It places more focus on the childish fabulousness of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer than the racial reckoning of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Sharp, funny, big-hearted, and absolutely true to the spirit of the author in question.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Band of Robbers doesn't quite spin its imaginative conceit into comic gold, but it offers some minor pleasures along the way.
Variety
Joe Leydon
This clever updating of Mark Twain finds Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer involved in a comic caper.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This comic take on "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is infused with a gleefully absurdist sense of humor while retaining a childlike sense of wonder.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
This comedic caper resembles Wes Anderson's jaunty Bottle Rocket in plot, style, and a dusty-bright visual aesthetic, but it's infused with Twain's acerbic humor.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
The directors of Band of Robbers, brothers Aaron and Adam Nee, have set out to modernize the stories of Mark Twain but end up with a cutesy caper that isn't as memorable as you might hope.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The quirky premise generates some amusing moments, yet the uneven script can't sustain its early momentum.
Movie Mezzanine
Mallory Andrews
Band of Robbers fares slightly better as a cutesy combination of two American treasures: Mark Twain and Wes Anderson.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
Band of Robbers is full of deep references to the books, but also stands on its own as a fresh and occasionally touching take on the "overambitious young schmucks decide to do some crimes and get in over their heads."
Film Journal International
David Noh
This sprightly and very funny caper film-which is also an affecting meditation on friendship and the pain of growing up-is surprisingly engaging.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Joanna Connors
A nice little cache of comedy gold.
The Playlist
Charlie Schmidlin
The end result may read as a gussied-up Funny or Die conceit at times, but through a surprising dramatic focus and well-written script it still performs wonderfully as an absurdist crime comedy with a wicked streak.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
A film that's as hilarious as it is beautiful.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
The premise is clever and the Nees clearly have great affection for Twain's work, but a cool idea isn't enough to sustain it past the opening chapters.
