Black Knight was extremely funny but slow on the on plot and not as much action as I thought. Martin Lawrence wasn't his best but he brought the laughs on the DVD. Lawrence plays Jamal, an employee of a run-down medieval theme park who is vastly more attentive to brushing his teeth than he is to anything relating to his job. When a rival theme park called Castle World moves to his neighborhood, he tells his boss that it is time for her to sell out and retire. Then, grabbing for a mysterious amulet while cleaning the moat, he falls into the water and comes up in a lake. The people he meets are so authentically medieval in dress and speech that he thinks he must have landed at Castle World. But it turns out that he has somehow landed in 1328! Where he is mistaken for being a messenger sent by a Duke. He gets interested in a pretty chambermaid who is a part of a conspiracy to bring back the real queen. There is a lot of slapstick, a little romance, fights with swords, arrows, and a couple with fists, and it all moves along pretty painlessly, helped by some good gags and Lawrence’s facility with physical comedy. Overall, it was a good movie and the acting and visuals were done very well. Plus, the story is very unique, the film is inspired by Mark Twain’s "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court." So also look for that if you enjoy the film.Read full review
This is a very funny comedy. Martin Lawrence is so funny and entertainment. I bought it for my 11 year old grandson, and he loves it. Is good for adults too!

Funny film, typical slap-stick Martin Lawrence. Has a few adult themes, but not overly vulgar. I use film clips to teach in my English classroom. This film provided good clips of how archetypes are used in literature. The film, however, doesn't need to be shown in its entirety. Another good film to use for knights and code of chilvary is A Knight's Tale. The students really enjoy it.
