Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A single fish-out-of-water joke told over and over again.

rotten:
Mark Twain managed to pen A Connecticut Yankee all by his lonesome, but three highly-paid Hollywood writers were needed to put together this lazy retread.

rotten:
Martin Lawrence [stars] as a theme park worker who falls into a scummy moat and surfaces in the Middle Ages -- perhaps in search of people who would find his humor fresh and original. No such luck.
– Richard Roeper,

rotten:
Tedious and predictable.
