You will absolutely know if you'll like this movie or not from the trailers.
There are no hidden treasures. I laughed twice in 90 minutes.
If you like new and innovative comedy, beware.
If you like Martin making funny faces and dancing, rock on, this is your movie.
Personally, I think this should have been made for cable.
Fmovies: I actually paid $4.20 to watch this movie, and the only funny things were a few cute lines and that was it. Martin Lawrence tried his best, but he's made far better movies.
And the time. This movie hardly lasted 90 minutes (which is actually a fortunate thing). Usually, movies that short have poor plots and little humor. This movie is no exception.
The idea is so silly. Jamal falls into a pond, trying to retrieve a necklace, and he appears in 14th century England? That sounds like a day dream to me. I guess it doesn't matter to Lawrence, who only wants to degrade people and show how much better he is than others.

Finally got around to seeing this one on D-TV.
I believe most know the plot: man from South-Central LA is teleported to the days of Knights and becomes involved in a rebellion to oust the evil King and restore the good Queen.
In general, it was disappointing because the screenplay did not allow Martin Lawrence to be as funny as he normally is. It seemed forced and weighted down. Unlike other Lawrence films (i.e. Bad Boys, Blue Streak, Big Mama's House) we were not able to see the Martin that we all know and love (or hate). Instead of the impulsive, quick-witted Martin we expect, what we actually saw was Martin that struggled with a poor, predictable script that runs out of fuel in the first twenty minutes and leaves Martin to try to make something out of the remaining hour. As funny as he can be, he is no miracle worker.
All in all I give it a mediocre to low rating. The worst thing is that when I see that Martin Lawrence is going to be in a film I expect certain level of funniness from him. I was disappointed. I feel gypped out of one hour-twenty-minutes of my Saturday.
Black Knight fmovies. Martin Lawrence is not funny. He wasn't funny on TV and has not been funny in any movie yet (except for the occasional laugh when he was playing Mama, not as a male character). This movie is a pure piece of trash. I was taken to see this movie (no way would I fork out a penny of my money to see any piece of work as ridiculous as this). It was a weak, at best, rip-off of the Bing crosby movie "Connecticut Yankee in King arthur's court", but with out the charm of a leading actor with any screen presence. If I could I would rate this with a negaitve number but I guess a "ZERO out of 10" is the least acceptable number. This film just plain stinks.
All I can say is that after 30 minutes I fell asleep out of complete boredom while watching this movie. It isn't funny, it has got no plot, and the concept has been used many times before, and better. The only positive thing about it is that one appreciates a good film even more after watching this one.
I am a big Martin Lawrence fan. I believe he has a natural instinct for comedy that few others have. However, this movie is absolutely horrible. There were few funny scenes and the story(?) was weak and lame. It is amazing that a star of this stature would accept such a poorly written script. Don't even bother renting the video.
