William Thatcher, a low-born 14th century squire replaces his deceased employer as the competitor at a jousting competition. Thatcher wins and decides to continue his new pursuits with the help of his two fellow squire friends. His victories inspire the affection of a female fan, Jocelyn, and the ire of a competitor, Count Adehmar, but Thatcher's ruse is threatened with exposure.

Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.June 11, 2001
The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.June 04, 2001
The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.June 24, 2006
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.May 21, 2001
You might find yourself smiling and laughing all the way through it.April 29, 2009
Unmotivated storyline, bad love interest situation, dull leading man, quick plot with no set-up. Lazy movie.July 23, 2007
For all its mainstream exertions, A Knight's Tale is actually something of an experimental melding of old and new.July 18, 2009
Endless jousting tournaments transpire with lots of balsa wood jousting poles splintering across the screen. It's a classic example of a "'what-on-earth-were-they-thinking" movie...April 04, 2010
It's as if Helgeland didn't have enough confidence in his own material's basic appeal that he resorted to desperate pandering.September 16, 2006
A Knight's Tale looks and sounds pretty darned good in Blu-ray.August 06, 2001
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.May 14, 2001
Essentially, it's a screenful of pseudo-medieval popcorn that hits a high enough level of goofy fun to transcend a pretty blatant marketing strategy aimed at the MTV demographic.
