A Knight in Camelot

I love Whoopi Goldberg, but this script was beneath her. It was cliche from start to finish, and it had a finale that made no sense at all, just an easy out for the writers, if they could be called that. I must say that my 10-year old daughter laughed throughout this film, and enjoyed it immensely. I guess since that is the target audience of the film, it hits the mark. However, all viewers above the age of 12 might want to give it a miss.

This has got to be one of whoopi's best performances ever, she certanly has got all of those wonderful comedy punchlines in there and certanly knows how to keep the realism on the film I have seen many modern films and this has managed to beat every one of them in my mind - i only hope that they release more films simular to this one

Average comedy with Whoopie taking on the part of the main character from Mark Twain's book "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". Goldberg travels back in time and comes face to face with the King and all his minions. About as good as the novel which wasn't the best I've ever read. Not a must see.

It seems many people have slated this movie, and I'm not entirely sure why. As long as one keeps the movie within the context of a film for children, I don't see what the problem is.

I agree that the script is rather weak - there isn't much for the actors to go on. All in all, I think Whoopi Goldberg and Michael York do a good job in trying to bring as much life in to their parts as they can. Let's face it, if you are looking for a great 'emmy award winning film' then, naturally, you won't like this at all.

However, what most people seem to have missed is this very important point - it's a film for CHILDREN. In a world where films/cartoons seem to be incredibly violent, isn't it great to find a movie which encourages us to be open-minded and treat each other as equals - what a great message for children.

This is a very entertaining production of Mark Twain's classic time-travel story, tho this time we have Whoopie Goldberg, who works with computers, zapped back into Camelot with her laptop and boom box! Nice cast, including Michael York as Arthur, Paloma Baeza, Amanda Donohoe, and Ian Richardson as Merlin. Good all around, especially for kids because there's several messages to be learned here. The FX could be better, but this is not a big budget film and they are okay. Good costumes, including Whoopie's suit of armor! Solid 8.
