"Although Richardson's epic, two-and-a-half years in the making, stands as an ambitious and entertaining romp that revels in its lowbrow homage to characters made famous by J.R.R. Tolkien and the films they inspired, the collection of witty special features found on the bonus disc captures the comedic joy and fanaticism of "The Lord of the Rings" faithful."

"This has got to be one of the best spoofs I have ever seen. Scene after scene is full of continuous jokes and will have you laugh for days about it. Many spoof films have been made but I think 'The Dork of the Rings' has something for everyone. I myself give this film 3 out of 4 stars."

"…It literally is the best and most well-made Lord of the Rings spoof I've seen."

"Here is one spoof to rule them all. 'Dork' is full of laughs and nearly makes as good a website as it does a film. Richardson has created an admirable send-up on such a small budget, further establishing South Bend as the state's little Hollywood."

--Indiana Alumni Magazine

"Dork of the Rings is a refreshing, whimsical updating of the Rings odyssey, presented by an ambitious group of admirers who pay tongue in cheek homage to Tolkien's legacy. Not to be missed!"

"Dork of the Rings is a side-splitting parody of Lord of the Rings."
