Black Knight (2001)

Lawrence is miraculous, as always.

It's a shrewd little comedy that uses good British actors to challenge its star, who rises to the occasion.

The best thing about Black Knight is when it finally says goodnight.

Isn't merely bad, it's utterly flavorless and the filmmakers are either too lazy or too cynical to even pretend there's a story behind Lawrence's 21st century homeboy shtick in 14th-century garb.

This time-travel scenario is by now shopworn, and the normally riotous Lawrence, a manic and gifted clown, is hamstrung in his efforts to eke humor from the anemic script.
