A Knight's Tale

Rating: * * * Director: Brian Helgeland Running time: 132 minutes Language: English Now showing

Silly, stupid Hollywood movies are a dime a dozen, but every now and then you get one that's so stupendously ill-conceived it moves from the mere bad into the hilariously over-the-top. Such is "A Knight's Tale," which pairs up medieval jousting with classic rock; this combo seems to have been natural enough to the filmmakers (hey, some people eat mayonnaise pizza, too), but the rest of us will be rolling in the aisles, wondering "What were they thinking?"
