Critics Consensus

While its plot borders on the absurd, The Knight Before Christmas is endearing and charming enough to make it a worthy addition to the holiday rom-com genre.

Cute and funny Christmas film with clever storyline. Even though not a big fan iof Vanessa Hughes I did like this film and the newcomer actor that played the knight did a fine acting job. Sweet ending too.

I do enjoy a sweet Christmas drama over the holiday season but to be honest, I only wanted to watch gorgeous and talented actress Vanessa Hudgens. But this was a nice movie, silly, but nice. An English knight on a quest meets an old lady that whisks him off to the future in a display of magic meant to test him. For what reason he doesn't know but it becomes clear what his purpose is. To be the champion for a fair maiden who doesn't believe in love. That fair maiden is Brooke, a hardworking but lonely woman who endures the holiday season with only herself and her family, her sister, and her niece. But this knight, though awkward and strange to Brooke is handsome and charming in a way that is seriously lacking in her time. Eventually, things come ahead in that same beautiful romance and holiday story that only a story called the Knight Before Christmas can end. This was silly, but the right kind of silly to watch. I love Vanessa Hudgens's acting and was more than happy to watch this during the holiday season.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

These little details, good and bad, are the points that end up standing out about The Knight Before Christmas, as the rest of the film follows a well-worn path.

...a fairly worthless piece of work that rarely lives up to the promise of its irresistible setup.

Rated: 1.5/4

It's a perfectly acceptable contribution to the developing Netflix Christmas romance genre.

It's all harmless enough, and I'm not afraid to admit that despite my best efforts to be cynical I actually warmed to The Knight Before Christmas.

Rated: B-

Film Inquiry

Thematically and structurally the film is an overdone Christmas romance which doesn't really bring anything new to the table, other than an actual knight in armour wandering around in 2019.

They've put no effort whatsoever into historical accuracy. Outside of the Christmas Prince franchise (part three streaming now), this is as good-bad as it gets.
