I stumbled on this one after reading Britt Robertson's biography. Britt plays the lead role of Allie Pennington.
Being a television movie and a Disney Channel one at that, I didn't expect much, but what a surprise.
Very well acted, funny, lots of action especially near the end, a bit of romance and general all round good fun. I really liked Allie Pennington's parents played by Don Lake and Ingrid Park, they did a very good job and made me smile each time they were on screen.
A great movie that all ages could watch, no over the top violence to speak of and the sword fighting is quite well done.
I haven't read the book that this is based on so can't say whether it is true to the book or not, but based on some of the reviews by reviewers who have it doesn't do the book justice. I can not comment on that, I liked the movie for itself. It stands on its own. Well done Disney Channel.
Highly recommended and I would very likely watch this again, it is a feel good movie.

I don't really watch Disney channel movies anymore but I had to watch this movie because I'm a big fan of the book.
There are a LOT of changes in the plot but I think the Disney channel transformed the story into something that most people can enjoy. The film was a little boring to me at some parts, and the plot got forced at one point.
I think if you know about King Arthur legendary or you've read the book Avalon High (by Meg Cabot) than you can understand everything and enjoy it.
The acting wasn't so bad. I think Brittany Robertson was great, she really carried the movie. She had great chemistry with Gregg Sulkin and the friendship between her and Miles (played by Joey Pollari) was very convincing.
For a Disney channel movie I think it was actually pretty good, perfect for a Netflix watch.
I'd give it 5 out of ten stars.

As much as I like the actors who make up the cast, I was expecting this to be very similar to the book. It differed greatly. I finally decided to watch the movie and as I was watching, I felt like it wasn't like the book I read years ago. I reread the book right after I finished the movie and yup, different. For a disney channel movie (I think this premiered on there), it's not bad.
I think what happened was that Disney deemed the book too dark and possibly more romantic for it to be a kids/tween/teen movie. The movie changed a lot of important details and missed out on many scenes. I was disappointed bc I love the book. I would have preferred for it to been a tv show or have another company with less censorship do it, such as Netflix.
ever since High School Musical came out on Disney Channel, Disney has been trying for many years to make anything close to it. but i have to say, this movie was surprisingly good compared to what has been attempted before. other movies have been no more than hectic clichés and very sad, cheesy story lines. This one, not only being a very different story line, did not contain cheesy or bad acting or story line. i thoroughly enjoyed this one and although it didn't come close to HSM, it was very well done :) a message to other reviewers, please, if you don't like a movie, by all means, share your thoughts and feelings but in a civilized way. sometimes some of you can be to harsh. its not wrong to dislike something, but just try be a little more polite when stating what is wrong with it :) thanks :)
Allie Pennington transfers to a new school, Avalon High, where she discovers that her classmates are reincarnated King Arthur and his court. Now her mission is to solve the school's mystery before Mordred wins again. Allie also meets the school's football quarterback, Will Wagner (Gregg Sulkin), who brings the Arthurian legend back to a contemporary high school. Allie believes that Will is King Arthur and that Marco, the evil half-brother is Mordred.
Despite all the fantasy around, about King Arthur and his Round Table, which sounds banal and childish, silly and silly, however I found the romance, betrayal, past-present, very nice to watch, all very predictable, just like the real thing villain, nothing surprising, the effects, simple, almost fiasco, but who cares, focus on Disney magic and exalted female power (this one is surprising), cute...
