Review of Black Knight (2001) by Martin D — 26 May 2010

Screenwriter Darryl_Quarles follows up his smash hit Big_Momma's_House (2000) with another raucous Martin_Lawrence collaboration. Lawrence stars as Jamal Walker, an employee at a medieval-themed mini-golf course who wakes up in 14th century England after a blow to the head.

Jamal has soon allied himself with a peasant girl and a broken-down ex-knight to defeat the evil King Leo (Kevin_Conway) and his bullying minion, Sir Knolte (Tom_Wilkinson). In the meantime, Jamal busts some modern dance moves on the medieval dance floor and encounters such intriguing residents of the period as knaves, peasants, archers, jousting knights, maidens, a princess, and even a giant.

Black Knight (2001) is the sophomore directing vehicle of longtime television producer Gil_Junger, who joins Lawrence in replacing the team originally attached to this comic vehicle, director F._Gary_Gray and star Chris_Tucker.
