All's Faire in Love (2009)


IMDb plot summary: Two rival Medieval shows vie for supremacy in the world of Renaissance Faires.
Directed by Scott Marshall. Starring Christina Ricci, Owen Benjamin, Chris Wylde, and Matthew Lillard.

This is one of the most ridiculous movies I've seen in a long time... but it was SO MUCH FUN. In an odd way, it kept making me think of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead -- a campy, over-the-top comedy with a ridiculous plotline that is catering to a really specific niche of viewers. The plot is incredibly silly and the acting is very strange, especially from the side characters, but I laughed a LOT, especially toward the end. If you want something that's just pure goofiness with a pretty charming (if predictable) romance woven in, I definitely suggest you check this out.

4 stars.

Flickchart: #493 out of 2088, below Cloud Atlas and above Rock of Ages.
