A fun film about fantasy LARPing

Lloyd the Conqueror takes three slacker students forced to compete in a local LAPRing tournament. This comedy may poke fun at LARPing but it most certainly laughs with (not at) the LARPing community. By no means a high budget film it works well with the resources it had and put together a decent film of good quality, that even boasts some recognizable faces. The acting was decent and the dialogue was enjoyable. I give this film a 6 out of 10 because it should in no way be compared to films like LOTR or the Godfather... but for a lower budget (Canadian; cough cough) comedy they did well. Give this film a shot and you will enjoy yourselves.

Some really good laughs.

I'm sure not everyone will have fun watching Lloyd The Conqueror. Some people have no clue about LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) and won't get the humor of this movie. But even if you're not into larping, which I'm absolutely not by the way, and you have a good sense of humor you still will have fun with this movie. Some wrote they are not ridiculing larping but if we're quite honest they do a little bit. And there's nothing wrong with that. Watching grown men and women acting like that is just fun to watch. I'm pretty sure that even the geeks and nerds will see the humor in it. The story is ridicule but in a funny way then. The acting is good, they never will win Oscars or other awards but that's not the purpose. I had some very good laughs and that's what it's all about when watching a comedy.

Very funny/silly comedy

Okay, first things first: do you hate movies that do not take themselves seriously? Do very silly situations make you cringe and walk away looking for the next WWII documentary? If you answered yes to either of these questions walk away now and choose another film. If however you enjoy tongue in cheek humour, larger than life caricatures and truly funny over the top situations, then this movie will not disappoint. I laughed out loud through much of this film.This is an excellent first movie from Michael Peterson and features a very strong cast.
