All's Faire in Love (2009)

Films like "Elizabeth" (with Cate Blanchett) and "The Other Boleyn Girl" have led to the genre of "Costume Drama". I'm just wondering if the same can be applied to a comedy. This movie was a light, romantic comedy. And I like these types of movies well enough. Having been to a number of "Renaissance Festivals" in a variety of states, I've seen some pretty spectacular costumes and some pathetic ones as well. This movie offers a glimpse into some of the better outfits a "rennie" could ever wear. Kudos to the Renaissance Costume Designer, Donna Buckley, for her work here. It's worth a look just to check them out! And jousting too!

So I found out about this movie last year, during a class i was working in. I found out it had been shot at my school, Mott Community College, back in 2009. After much research on release dates i found it on amazon to rent last month. So i did, and found it quite funny. I didn't go in expecting anything, but i do enjoy most work by christina ricci, and matthew lillard. It was neat seeming a portion of my school in there, along with the Michigan ren. fest as most of the staging of the movie. But if you are looking for a few good laughs, this would be a good movie to see. The first 15 mins are kinda rough but if you get past that then you should be good.

Cute love/hate/love movie for all renaissance festival buffs. Highly recommend this comedy with a few twists. Plus, anything with Ann Margaret is bound to be good, right?

The premise is interesting; however, the execution leaves much to be desired. A jock in danger of failing is sentenced by his professor to work at a Renaissance Faire for three weeks in the summer. He comes into this role possessing an initial contempt and general disregard for the Faire and all involved. He does develop a bit more in personality and character as the film progresses; however, this story left me shaking my head many times. I love Renaissance Faires; however, I do not love this movie. If you do not have to pay to watch it, perhaps; however, it's mediocre at best and lame to offensive at worst.

A light hearted escape to the realm of the renaissance faire where quirky characters live out their fantasies. Especially enjoyed Chris Wylde's over the top performance as "Rank" and Louise Griffiths' subdued performance as Christina Ricci's friend "Jo".
