For a children's film, i was very pleasantly surprised with this offering from Jean Reno, not normally given to this kind of comedy role. Admittedly it is nearly all slapstick, as you would expect from a children's comedy, but unlike most slapstick children's comedy, a lot of it is actually funny, and doesn't make you cringe to watch it.

The basic premise is a good one, although it has been done many times before. a medieaval knight and his servant are somehow sent forward in time to the present day, and nearly all the film's gags centre round these to medieaval misfits and their interpretation of 21st century life, along with all our modern inventions. It is genuinely funny. For instance the scenes with the toilet mints (wait and see!) and the attempt to free those 'held prisoner' inside the television really work, and have to be seen to believed, and laughed at.

The acting and casting is good, in particular the gorgeous Tara Reid, who looks especially stunning in this movie, along with Christina Applegate, who also looks pretty good.

I must admit i don't normally like this kind of films because the humour is so obvious and in-your-face, but it is how children like it. I really would recommend this flim to all parents, as your child will want to watch it over and over again. My little brother certainly did. There are the inevitable bodily function jokes, which always cracks him and all other young children up. But credit where credit's due, i didn't expect to, but i really did enjoy this film, and can quite happily watch this film again and again.
