Boston Globe - Jay Carr
A Knight's Tale, will either repel you or win you over. It won me over.

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
With its cheerful hailstorm of anachronisms and classic-rock soundtrack, there's nothing medieval about it.

Slate - David Edelstein
Simply a jolly good (k)night out.

Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern
A Knight's Tale wasn't made for people like me. It was made for the kids of summer.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - Peter Rainer
For all its hipness, the movie serves up some awfully old chestnuts.
