I saw this in the theater when it came out, and my friends and I were pretty into it. This was my first time watching it in probably twenty years. It really just didn't live up to my memories of it. I remember it being funnier and cooler. It's still a little funny, and I did get watery eyes for the father/son reunion, but I was mostly just along for the ride.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lusty, anachronistic romp where a peasant-turned-fake-knight charges toward glory and romance with the swagger of a rock star. It's a crowd-pleaser that treats medieval tournaments like stadium concerts and wears its modern spirit as a badge of honor.
