a knight's fail!

A Knight's Tale is a film about a poor young man who's dream -from when he was only at the age where dreams where considered naive and preposterous- was to become a professional jouster.The only downside to this delusion was that only men of royal blood could compete in jousting competitions. He, with his friends, travels - pretending to be of royal blood-to his first jousting competition.

I found A Knight's Tale disappointing, as all of the important characters are male, and the jousters treat the woman as a trophy and nothing else. I know that this film was set in the medieval times but Brian Helgeland could of made at least one female that isn't just a prize for the men.

This film is suitable for all ages. But if you want a film that you would watch again, personally, this isn't the film I would choose.
