On...( read more  read more... ) the journey, they stumble across an unknown writer, Chaucer.

    Movie Quotes:
    "I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!"

    "My Lord, the Count Adehmar, Son of Phillip DeVitry
    ...( read more), son of Gilles... er... Master of the Free Companies, defender of his enormous manhood, a shining example of chivalry and champagne."

    "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me? "

    Hehe, after all these years, this movie still cracks me up. Slightly 'Shakespear-esque', modern day rock n roll, cool soundtrack, good acting, story and script. Filled with quirky characters and witty lines, I thought it was quite a riot! There was 1 thing I couldnt really take about this movie though.. and Ill leave it with this quote.

    "There she is, William. The embodiment of love. Your Venus!"
    "And ooh how I hate her...."

    Painfully over-hyped. I know it?s not meant to be taken historically seriously and its meant to be 'A bit of fun' but quite frankly it?s a very weak film with such a light sprinkling of fun that I would rather watch a repeat of 'It?s a Royal Knockout'!

    A wonderfully fun guilty pleasure. Paul Bentley steals the show.

    Surprisingly funny and whilst Ledger is good, for me, Bettany steals the show with his performance as Chaucer. Tudyk is good. Good soundtrack.

    This movie is great and entertaining from start to finish, hilarious and cool. I prob. could give it 4 stars, maybe later, there are a couple scenes of pointless dialogue.

    This is such a fun film. I love it so much. I like the fact that it isn't so serious. It's a wonderful story.
