    I have seen worse

    This movie was tolerable at best. Not bad considering the circumstances behind Martin Lawrence traveling back in time. That was a little unimaginative. This one makes A Knight's Tale seem like a medieval masterpiece.

    stupid

    Martin Lawrence didnt do that bad of a job on fliming this movie, it was just the idea and concept of the movie itself, it was predictable, very very un funny, and just stupid, no one thats innocent should have to sit through that movie.

    Maybe, perhaps, worst film ever

    This movie is bad, no two ways about it. I don't think I'm alone in saying Martin Lawrence is a terrible actor (although quite funny in Big Momma's House) and his sneery smile and the fact that women don't seem to be able to resist him add to the farce of the film. As for a black knight in medieval times, he'd either be made a slave, or killed-Not racist, just the truth. Also, though it seems petty, why would a fake castle in California transport anyone to a real castle in England. Dumb, dumb, very dumb, very bad.

    Why all the hateee?!

    This is overall a good movie. If you like Martin lawrence you will like this movie. Maybe it was ahead of its time?

    I watched this movie as a kid and loved it. Still love it as a 30 year old. The premise is silly, so expect a silly movie. That's what trailers are for.

    C comedy movie about A dude from the 2000's who goes back in time to midevil times.... you get what you watch.

    Funny, light comedy.

    I don't think that this film was even one tenth as bad as many of the reviews I've seen. First, it should be taken in the spirit of which is was obviously made, fun, light comedy. Certainly, it didn't break any "new ground," and I doubt that it will be remembered along with "Some Like It Hot." As much as I initially wanted to HATE this film, I thought it was a noble effort by the star, who was wise enough to surround himself with supremely talented British actors (many from the legitimate stage) who both accurately embodied the realism of the time, and possessed the chops to pull it off. Yes, it used all of the typical ghetto dialogue and Hollywood plots, but it did it with such clever wit and attitude that I wound up being quite charmed by the film. Again, if you're looking for "Malcolm X," don't bother. But for an afternoon's amusement, good, clean fun. I have no qualms about saying that I enjoyed it.

    • Trivia
      The scene where Princess Regina trips over her bed sheets was not scripted, but director Gil Junger liked it, so it was kept and put in the final cut.
    • Goofs
      When Jamal is pulled from the moat, his clothes are bone dry.
    • Quotes

      Jamal: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the presence of fear, yet the will to move on.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to cut sight of a potentially dangerous imitable technique (spray from an aerosol can ignited with a lighter) in order to obtain a PG classification. An uncut 12 classification was available.
