Brian Helgeland wrote and directed. He's responsible for other duds including Conspiracy Theory and The Postman. At least A Knight's Tale moves swifter than Helgeland's other bombs. The predictable plot, cliches and stereotypes should play well with junior high boys. A Knight's Tale has its moments.
Some comedy is funny.
Some melodrama is touching. Some romance is moving. Some action is thrilling. But those moments surface too seldom.
