    A Knight's Tale, will either repel you or win you over. It won me over.

    With its cheerful hailstorm of anachronisms and classic-rock soundtrack, there's nothing medieval about it.

    A Knight's Tale wasn't made for people like me. It was made for the kids of summer.

    For all its hipness, the movie serves up some awfully old chestnuts.

    Works neither as an exuberant rock 'n' roll picture nor as a heroic fable. It will rock you --straight to sleep.

    Traditionalists and older viewers in general will scoff, while pop culture addicts will no doubt go with the flow.

    A Middle Ages "Rocky" that spares no cliche in its unduly long, 2 1/4 hours.

    The film's one saving grace is Ledger (Mel Gibson's son in "The Patriot").

    The skits are dreadful, the jokes suck.
