Amazon.com:
There's no rule against rock anthems from the 1970s in the soundtrack for a movie about a medieval jousting champion, but if you're going to attempt such jarring anachronisms, you'd better establish acceptable ground rules. Writer-director Brian Helgeland does precisely that in A Knight's Tale and pulls off this trick with such giddy aplomb that you can't help but play along. (Upon witnessing a crowd of peasants at a jousting match, singing and clapping to the beat of Queen's "We Will Rock You," you're either going to love this movie or dismiss it altogether.) Other vintage rock hits will follow, but Helgeland--the Oscar®-winning cowriter of L.A. Confidential--handles this ploy with judicious goodwill, in what is an otherwise honest period piece about a peasant named William (Heath Ledger) who rises by grit and determination to the hallowed status of knighthood.
As if the soundtrack weren't audacious enough, Helgeland (recovering from the sour experience of his directorial debut, Payback) casts none other than Geoffrey Chaucer (wonderfully played by Paul Bettany) as William's cohort and match announcer, along with William's pals Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), and feisty blacksmith Kate (Laura Fraser). Of course there must be a fair maiden, and she is Jocelyn (newcomer Shannyn Sossamon), with whom William falls in love while battling the nefarious Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell) on the European jousting circuit. Add to this an inspiring father-son reunion, Ledger's undeniable charisma, a perfect supporting cast, and enough joyful energy to rejuvenate the film's formulaic plot, and A Knight's Tale becomes that most pleasant of movie surprises--an unlikely winner that rises up, like its hero, to exceed all expectations. --Jeff Shannon

"A Knight's Tale" was delightful to me when I saw it in the theatre. I recently started thinking about how much I liked it and then saw a copy @ a bargain price. Heath Ledger never seems light, even when in a frothy bit of romantic comedy from the middle ages. There is a fierce intensity to his work. His one Oscar nomination came for Best Actor for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005, a film for which he won similar awards from critics' associations in Las Vegas, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco & ...

I've seen it a thousand times...and just love it! It's one of those flicks that just makes you feel good and puts a smile on your face. Of course it doesn't hurt that Heath was gorgeous to look at in ths flick too!It's great to see him happy and healthy...and this is the way I want to remember him. You could tell he was really enjoying himself while making this film. Whenever I've had a hard day...or just need to be cheered up...I put this movie in. Just the dancing scene alone lifts me up. I'd recommend ... Read More

For very little kids, or young girls who want to look at Heath Ledger. He died but that didn't improve the film.
History is so boring. It needs to be jazzed up?

Sometime in the early 1370s, six months in the life of English writer Geoffrey Chaucer went unaccounted. A KNIGHT'S TALE - an earnest, historical epic movie (okay, not really) - ventures a tongue-in-cheek answer to that mild conundrum. But, firstly, the film gravitates towards the young peasant squire, William Thatcher, who fears of wasting his life away as a humble nothing. When his knight is fatally injured during a joust, William seizes an opening for self-betterment. With the help of his reluctant fellow ... Read More
