Audience Member A late 70's take on Mark Twain's "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court". This movie seems to target a younger audience, but there is a Playboy magazine gag throughout the movie that makes the tone confusing. I wasn't really up for this version of Camelot as most of the key players were missing or just mentioned. The love story wasn't convincing either and the ending seemed to cut that plot out like it didn't matter. The fight scenes were lame and not well choreographed. A few fun moments, but most of the time this movie had me face palming and eye rolling. Not worth your time.

As for kids born later than me, you can be forgiven for thinking that this movie is A Kid in King Arthur's Court as they are the same movie down to the role of Merlin being plated by Ron Moody. Dennis Dugan plays Tom Trimble, the astronaut who goes back in time, but today he makes movies like Jack and Jill, Grown Ups and You Don't Mess with the Zohan. But here, he's a dude going back to Camelot and wowing them with stories of Uncle Miltie, which seems dated even when I realize that this film is 42 years old. Also — why is Merlin the bad guy in this? Maybe I shouldn't be wondering these things and just enjoy myself, which is pretty much what I've been doing with Disney week. I wonder what post-Star Wars kids thought of this. Pat Roach shows up. That guy — between being a German mechanic, a guard and a gestapo that fights Indiana Jones, General Kael in Willow and the Toth-Amon in Conan the Destroyer — is the best bad guy ever. Russ Mayberry, who directed this, is probably better known for his TV work. The only theatrical movie he made outside of this — that I can think of — is the biker movie The Jesus Trip. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review r 9 Average. I don't like or dislike 'Unidentified Flying Oddball'. It features a cool concept, but the film never really gets overly intriguing while the cast are rather plain and uninteresting. Dennis Dugan never really works for me as Tom. I feel his character is way too content with what occurs, especially at the beginning - no surprise, no shock... nothing. That's odd to me, given what occurs. Jim Dale, who is excellent in 1978's 'Hot Lead and Cold Feet', is underwhelming. Kenneth More, meanwhile, is alright as King Arthur. In a word, forgettable. Glad it only lasts 93 minutes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r Taken straight out a yankee in king Arthur's court. I enjoyed the childish humor and wit, but it wasn't quite up to snuff. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review bill t Cute version of Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, with a spaceman going back in time and wowing King Arthur's Court. Dan Dugan is a fun Disney hero. Thumbs up for him. Story goes by smoothly. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
