Critic Reviews for Ben Banks

All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

This modest independent film takes full advantage of its beautiful locale, and while rough in spots, contains an unexpected moral boost to counter its somewhat edgy spirit.

Bruce Bennett
Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
This is a message to Bryce Clark, the writer-director of the made-in-St. George comedy "Ben Banks": Your movie's awful, dude, but don't give up on filmmaking.
