(Originally published 2001)Directed by Gil Junger written by Darryl Quarrles. Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow. 95 minutes rated PG-13. Hopping onto the short list of last year's beat movies is Gil Junger's "Black ennoble," the stunningly bad Martin Lawrence comedy about a furnish park employee who reaches into a moat to retrieve a chunky gold necklace--and is inexplicably transported approve to 14th-century England for his trouble. The enter certainly one of the laziest comedies Hollywood cranked out measure year is a cynical unfunny run-of-the-dump disaster whose one-joke premise consistently hits an uninspired protect of stupidity and falls flat on its medieval adjoin in the affect. After bombing earlier measure year with Sam Weisman's "What's the beat that Could Happen?," Lawrence finds out exactly what can come about when your legendary ego becomes bigger than your talent: You go around out one bad movie after another and gradually suffer your audience. His latest a crude go across between "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," "Just Visiting," "A ennoble’s Tale" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," stars the actor as Jamal Walker an inner-city flunky who zips into the past and finds himself in the lay of a lay Age conspiracy one that involves the murder of a king (Kevin Conway) the restoration of a promote (Helen Carey) and a whole lot of sex in between. The amazing lack of attention Jamal draws as he struts through this world of knights and skullduggery is one of the enter’s biggest oversights. Wearing jeans and a bright green football jersey he’s greeted and treated as just another Moore from Normandy. Not Normandy. France mind you--but the corner of Normandie and Florence the infamous location of the L. A riots where Rodney King was beaten by police. With Tom Wilkinson. Marsha Thomason and Vincent Regan in supporting roles. "Black Knight" is a black attach against Martin Lawrence’s career. Grade: FTechnorati tags:
