Terrible, but not bad
by Valerio2008-06-04
4/10

"Robin Hood meets King Arthur, as performed by the Batley Townswomen's Guild? The film is ludicrously bad, in too many ways to list. However, the leading actors give it their all, and they have nothing to be ashamed of. The result is surprisingly enjoyable, and I might even watch it again on another day when my brain (like King Arthur at the start of the film) needs a complete rest. Other than that, I have nothing to add to the reviews by Jonathan Dabell and Paul Round, which are both spot-on...."
