Unmotivated storyline, bad love interest situation, dull leading man, quick plot with no set-up. Lazy movie.

For all its mainstream exertions, A Knight's Tale is actually something of an experimental melding of old and new.

The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.
