Rating: C+ -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- 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 Full Review

Rating: 8.5/10 -- Capturing the heart of the novel and injecting a quirky, introspective sensibility, here is an example of filmmaking at its most inspired. Full Review

Band of Robbers doesn't quite spin its imaginative conceit into comic gold, but it offers some minor pleasures along the way. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- In addition to Twain, the directors clearly worship the Coens, specifically "Raising Arizona." And that's OK. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

A modern day retelling of Mark Twains iconic books, Band of Robbers is a comedic adventure that reimagines the characters as grown men, and small-time crooks. When Huck Finn is released from prison, he hopes to leave his criminal life behind, but his lifelong friend, and corrupt cop, Tom Sawyer, has other plans. Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies, Tom forms the Band of Robbers, recruiting their misfit friends Joe Harper and Ben Rogers, to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure. But the plan soon unravels, thrusting the guys on a wild journey with dangerous consequences...This special DVD edition comes packed with Directors Commentary, Cast Auditions and Behind the Scenes Featurettes. English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired included
