May 11, 2001 — Lisa Schwarzbaum gave 'A Knight's Tale' a mediocre grade. Here's a clip from the review:

And inevitably, with such an Olde Chestnut plot, ''A Knight's Tale'' loses energy even as lances fly. (They fly over the course of a full two hours; audiences are exhorted not to drink bowls of wassail beforehand.) Helgeland, coscreenwriter of ''L.A. Confidential'' and director of ''Payback,'' may mean ''A Knight's Tale'' to be fun and accessible for those who think ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' is too darn hip and loony. But for all the jesting and jousting, these are no Python knights who go ''Ni! Ni! Ni!'' These are the knights who go ''feh.''
