Studios: 20th Century Fox, Regency Entertainment. Rated: PG-13 (for language, sexual/crude humor, and battle violence) Runtime: 1 hour 35 minutes Year: 2001 Black Knight isn't exactly a great movie. Most people would actually consider it awful. But I personally enjoyed this fish-out-of-water comedy starring Martin Lawrence, who isn't exactly considered the best comedian around. Don't get me wrong, the movie is occasionally awful and is not good, simply entertaining. Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) is a selfish and spoiled employee of a castle amusement park who is considering moving to the new and improved Castle World, which is opening right across the street from the dump he works in. This makes his boss (Isabell Monk) disappointed because she has high hopes for him. Then, one day when he is cleaning the moat with his pal Steve (Daryl Mitchell), he falls in and is transported to the past. He comes up in 1328 in the same place, only it is ruled by a real king and real knights. He befriends one former knight Sir Knolte (Tom Wilkinson), who has a serious drinking problem. After entering the main village, he poses as a messenger from Normandy and befriends the king, who has actually stolen the throne from the queen. He also meets and falls in love with Victoria (Marsha Thomason), who is a lady in the kingdom who wants to overthrow the king's rule and restore the throne to the queen. He agrees to help her if she helps him get back to his own time. Lawrence is funny in a few moments, but it is mainly facial expressions, not dialouge that keep this movie entertaining. Stealing from A Knight's Tale, this movie also features a dance sequence and song from current times in medievil times, this time it is really dumb. The rest of the acting is average.  The special effects are also pretty average, you would expect more from this movie. In closing, this is definetely a step down from Junger's 10 Things I Hate About You, but it is still entertaining. *** stars                                                     --Cory Thompson
