The Knight Before Christmas

What to Know

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.

Karen Han Polygon 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. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Samantha Puc The Beat The Knight Before Christmas certainly isn’t going to win any awards this year, but that isn’t why it exists — and that’s okay. The cast looks like they’re having an excellent time; I had an excellent time watching them play out this big-hearted rom-com. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly worthless piece of work that rarely lives up to the promise of its irresistible setup. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 9, 2022 Full Review Audrey Fox AwardsCircuit.com It's a perfectly acceptable contribution to the developing Netflix Christmas romance genre. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk 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- Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lawrie 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.

Dave T You won't need a hearth in your home with all of the warmth that this film brings. Brooke, played by TV's Vanessa Hudgens, is great. She is a legitimate move star playing in this great made for cable Christmas story. Seriously folks, perfect movie to get into the season! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review T l I can’t believe this is a real movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review shirayuki M i love it the movie Like and love main character fantastic storyline I want to watch it again and again Over an over again I really love ❤️💋❤️🩵😍🥹 Emotional Romantic 🥰😍🥰😃😂🤣🥹😍🥰😘 Is fun Heartwarm Is about love between knight And school teacher & family Friends community Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review inta k romantic xmas movie with time travel and knights. lighthearted and fun Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Rebecca H 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review victor o 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 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
