Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Whipping along at speed, with elaborate camera movements and rousing speeches, this knows how to engage a crowd. It's corny, of course, but a guilty pleasure: romantic, diverting, with mildly amusing modern gags.

Instead of pulling young audiences imaginatively back into the past, A Knight's Tale cheapens the process by demonstrating that there's no essential difference between then and now.

The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.

The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.
