Zany submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on June 26, 2014, 8:13pm Anachronistic yet mood-appropriate music, Paul Bettany playing a manic Chaucer (yes, THAT Chaucer), and Heath Ledger's thoroughly charming performance make this a really fun movie. I love serious historical fiction and have done extensive research on the time and place in which this was (more or less) set - but the madcap fun of it banished my nitpicking and disarmed my fact-checking automatic response.

The poor squire from the wrong side of the tracks sets out to change his life and, a little bit, his world. It's joyful and lighthearted, and hangs together fairly well. It just keeps me grinning at the audaciousness of the plain story dressed up in a very postmodern/meta way.

Silly submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 1:01pm This is an okay film for young adults. It's silly, but not great.

Awesomely Bad submitted by eileenw on July 11, 2022, 8:01pm While not a "good" movie, it's fun. A guilty pleasure.

Disappointing submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on July 18, 2023, 7:28am Considering how big a fan I am of so many in this cast, I wish I could have enjoyed it more. Felt like the movie wasn’t sure what it wanted to be.
