First of all I've read some of the uptight reviews here and all I can say is some of you take these movies way too seriously.
First things first. It's a COMEDY.
Not to be taken seriously to start with.
But I will say that I wonder how screenplays like this can get green-lit.
Martin Lawrence had a unique style when he first came out back in his 'House Party' days, but it's stale now.
The film drags on one joke for almost half of it.
It was fairly amusing at first that he had no idea he was more than eight hundred years into the past, but they dragged this joke on forever and it became less and less funny with each passing moment.
That was about the funniest thing in the film and as I said it became boring after a while.
Other little idiotic things that bug me is how can a woman get her throat cut and get up like nothing's happened...the same with Knolte (Tom Wilkinson) after he supposedly dies by an arrow to the heart, and the explanation for this is never given (maybe he was wearing something underneath his clothes to stop the penetration of the arrow).
Comedy is one thing, becoming stupid and unrealistic is another.
