A single fish-out-of-water joke told over and over again.

Mark Twain managed to pen A Connecticut Yankee all by his lonesome, but three highly-paid Hollywood writers were needed to put together this lazy retread.

Martin Lawrence [stars] as a theme park worker who falls into a scummy moat and surfaces in the Middle Ages -- perhaps in search of people who would find his humor fresh and original. No such luck.

Tedious and predictable.

Paint-by-numbers clich-fest.

Black Knight isn't awful, strictly speaking, just tepid and predictable.

A time-travel comedy that doesn't go anywhere we haven't been before.

There's precious little to like about the witless and decidedly tedious Black Knight.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Nov 25, 2001
This is paint-by-numbers filmmaking.

Intermittently amusing though sloppy around the edges, Black Knight makes a serviceable vehicle for Martin Lawrence's clowning.

Slight but highly enjoyable.

Were it not for Lawrence's presence, you get the feeling the flimsily constructed comedy would simply collapse and blow away.

It's a bad sign when a movie begins with an extended close-up sequence of its star plucking a nostril hair.

This is Lawrence's show, his chance to demonstrate his comic nimbleness and appeal. He runs with it.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 21, 2001
Represents yet another blown opportunity to raise Martin Lawrence's game to a higher level.

The filmmakers ... seem to have been inspired mainly by contempt for the audience: everything about their work feels lazy and slapdash.
