Jamal (Martin Lawrence), an employee of the Medieval World amusement park, suffers a blow to the head and wakes up in 14th Century England. He encounters knaves, peasants, archers and a giant while showing the people some modern dance moves. Tapping into his good side, Jamal aligns with a peasant woman (Marsha Thomason) and a down and out ex-knight who are bound and determined to overthrow the evil King Leo (Kevin Conway) and his right hand man Sir Knolte (Tom Wilkinson).

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Black Knight feels like a lazily constructed movie, filled with lame gags and constant mugging from Lawrence.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Martin Lawrence amuses in raunchy comedy. Rated: 3/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com Rated: 1/5 Aug 26, 2002 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Not being a Martin Lawrence fan, I must confess that Black Knight had me rolling in the aisles. Lawrence went for the comic jugular and succeeded every time. ... Long live the boy from the 'hood who turned into Robin Hood!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review John A At first a bit amusing and then what worked quickly dissolves into tedium and the film becomes laborious to watch Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Mark M The movie was mid because the plot was useless.Him thinking for that long before talking to a girl he likes Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Jay P Ignore the critics. It's a cozy comedy with good acting despite cheap set designs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review B M Awful, cliché, bad acting, boring and vulgar. Pass! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review Abbe A OMG!! This is my favorite movie- a must see! I first saw it on when I was having a really bad day and it cheered me up. I couldn't stop laughing.
