A Knight's Tale (2001) 7/10

Starring : Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Paul Bettany, Laura Fraser, Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk
Director : Brian Helgeland
Running Time : 127 mins

When his master dies, William Thatcher (Ledger) takes on his identity and gets local writer Geoffrey Chaucer (Bettany) to forge him documents so he can pass as a knight. Now believed to be Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland, William sets about proving his metal as a knight in a jousting competition, and meets the girl of his dreams.

A nice, fun-filled, loose adaptation of one of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this takes the story of the wannabe knight and turns it into a thoroughly enjoyable romp with lots of memorable characters to enjoy over and over. Despite being a little on the long side, this doesn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of such a guilty pleasure movie.
