      Boston Globe

      A Knight's Tale, will either repel you or win you over. It won me over.

      New York Daily News

      With its cheerful hailstorm of anachronisms and classic-rock soundtrack, there's nothing medieval about it.

      Simply a jolly good (k)night out.

      Wall Street Journal

      A Knight's Tale wasn't made for people like me. It was made for the kids of summer.

      New York Magazine (Vulture)

      For all its hipness, the movie serves up some awfully old chestnuts.

      Salon

      Works neither as an exuberant rock 'n' roll picture nor as a heroic fable. It will rock you --straight to sleep.

      Variety

      Traditionalists and older viewers in general will scoff, while pop culture addicts will no doubt go with the flow.

      Miami Herald

      A Middle Ages "Rocky" that spares no cliche in its unduly long, 2 1/4 hours.
