| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonLess original than a Renaissance Faire handbook. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMartin Lawrence finally gets to show what he can do as a screen comedian. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesWonderfully charming and side-splittingly funny. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonySubjecting knights, lords, and damsels to his brash 21st century streetwise ways, Martin is armored with plenty of laughs. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourRepresents yet another blown opportunity to raise Martin Lawrence's game to a higher level. |
