This film is a comedy and adventure film. This is a particularly good film because it has laughs, but tells a brilliant story at the same time. That makes it just right. The story is set in the middle ages where you were either a gallant knight and fight in battle for your country or risk your life in a dangerous jousting tournament. Otherwise you were just a poor peasant, eating on scraps on the street or nothing.
We follow the journey of a peasant who has to replace a knight at a tournament and then goes on pursuing his dreams to become a famous knight. All along the film, you are taken by surprise and don’t know what to expect to happen next, which makes it very entertaining to watch.
Finally, I would recommend this film for ages 8 and over.
