Good fun if not a little silly. A Knight’s Tale is a nice easy film to watch, plenty to laugh at, the jousting is very good and there’s a love story if you like that sort of thing. For me however the real star of this film is Paul Bettany as the legendary story teller Geoffrey Chaucer before he is famous, when he often gambled away the very clothes off his back but still has an exceptional mastery of the English language.
Synopsis: When young William Thatcher’s master dies before completing a jousting contest he steps in a takes his place. Desperate to continue in the role his creates a fake identity and sets about becoming a jouster with hopes of one day becoming a famous knight.
