Description

In this hilarious comedy, Jamal (Martin Lawrence) toils unhappily at Medieval World, a theme park that looks like it has not been renovated (or had customers, for that matter) since the Dark Ages. After falling into the park's fetid moat, Jamal crawls out into fourteenth-century England, a world of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress...not to mention questionable hygiene and really lousy plumbing! Now a stranger in a very strange land, Jamal falls in with a dissolute knight, a beautiful woman with some very modern ideas, and even leads a rebellion against the evil king. The Middle Ages will never be the same when Jamal uses his twenty-first century street smarts to help his new friends!

    The movie is kind of silly, predictable, and, more or less humorous. "Head Of State" (Chris Rock) is a much better comedy.

    I don't what it is about this movie, but I find it completely hilarious. It may not be Oscar worthy material or anything but I've always enjoyed it. For those unaware, its A [very] light hearted comedy variation of A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court. Just take it for what it is. It really never takes itself too serious so you shouldn't either.

    I loved this movie. Good entertainment. Martin is hysterical. Even though the plot was predictable he made it fresh with his funny remarks. He's just a very funny guy. I give it a 4 stars. Worth watching.

    this movie is funny as hell. there's no way it should have got a 1 star rating. whoever rated it a 1 star must not have seen the full movie or is crazy. Martin Lawrence killed this role. I also like it when they add a new days twist to an old days theme, which is why this movie is so radical
  • wth?!!

    I don't care that someone rated this movie as one star and my opinion differs tremendously. I love this movie! I also love the version of it with Keshia Knight Pulliam... I want that version too. Any other versions are usually garbage. So to those who think this movie stinks, uh... I don't get it. Martin Lawrence's career may or may not have gone downhill at the time this movie was made, but it rocks!!! As for that person who brought up race, as of the time I read that review, nobody else mentioned it.

    I love when there are modern twists made on classic tales and more so when they are done creatively and add element to an all ready great story. You might think oh he is black and thats why he is the black knight. Looking beyond that simple take, you do find that it is just about this ordinary guy thrust into a world in turmoil. A world that needs a hero. He might not be fighting an army of darkness, but he is that guy none the less and in the end he gets the job done, in his own way. Thats what its all about.
