They clearly thought of the title first
Mariana Luna hahahahahahaha! I’m howling!
Seriously Lmfao
They always do.
Guys, guys, the knight before Christmas, knight, with a k
What’s it about
A knight.....and Christmas...?
@@MegaraTheUnwise Guys, what about a movie about a knight... you know, before Christmas
Oh, like Christmas Eve?
No, like on medieval times!!!!
Genius. Say no more, let's do it
I watch bad films vicariously through Amanda, thank you for your service.
She takes things seriously
Me too! She makes the bad movies enjoyable lol
Its either this or I watch dead meat, both cover bad movies, she focuses on mainstream and dead meat does horror/horror comedy
I watch them.both through Amanda and Trixie and Katya. Quality content in both cases
Same
It's literally a gender swapped holiday themed "Enchanted" but worse 😂
The world wasn’t ready for this hot take.
How dare you. Enchanted was a masterpiece.
+Emily Huang
It really was- I need to watch it again.
SOOOOO CLOOOOSE SOOOOOOOO CLOOOOOSE YET SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR...
Or just Kate and Leopold again.
The whole point of the old crone sending knights into the future is to dispose of them so that she can fulfill her evil plans.
I was just about to comment this!
She cast the knight far into the future,into the world she created where A̶K̶U̶S̶ the old crones evil is law!
The witch lady's plan is to get have all the knights disappear so she can take over the land with her undead army
Jay Damn now I want this movie..
Crawling on ice is actually a legitimate lake escape method, distribution of weight.
And swords are not that heavy, (between 2.5 lb to 4.5 lb). A sword can't be too heavy if you want to fight more than 5 min or even if you want to be able to use it.
Yeah, but I can't imagine him also crawling further onto the lake would help
@@dangernoodle9961 it wouldn't make much sense self-preservation wise and should never be done in real life. That being said, if a kid's chosen the freeze response in the face of danger and you're trying to save the kid then it would probably be the best response.
@@Dan-si8eu I mean, I'd just worry he'd add too much weight onto the ice and cause them to both fall under
just don't ask how she got out so far in the first place 🤷♂️
Sure is lucky the Knight's handsome. Considering he came from time where people barely bath or brush their teeth. 😑
It would have been even better if the knight was sent from 1346 to the current day; he would've brought the plague with him!
Ya but they didn’t have sugar yet. There are actually some old ass skulls (technical term) that have no cavities only when sugar became a thing did teeth get truly nasty, see queen elizabeth. (Apologies for the boringly serious reply).
@@kmhkennedy that's actually quite interesting
@@thomaskole9881 night:"mom can i take the plague with me to my friend's house ?"
The mom:"they have a plague at home"
I believe most knights came from noble families. Noblemen often bathed every week, but I'm not sure if they brushed their teeth.
Can we talk about the 14th century crone's perfect beach waves? Such an odd wig decision.
yea, and her fabulous eyebrows! Like whyyyyy
Ok but are we not going to talk about how his name is literally “circle”
i was legit confused if that was his name or a deliberate play on words and never had an answer 🤨
It's Sir Cole
Vanessa Hudgens character thought that his name was circle too lol
Anyone else notice that this movie is basically Thor? But without any of the interesting and engaging story
Omg yes
More late and Leopold than thor
Which is rough, considering Thor already doesn’t have much of an interesting and engaging story.
A Character speaks: "Good Morning"
The Film : Cuts to next day
"nice day for fishin ain't it?" Hu ha.
The movie nerd in me: this movie sounds pretty bad.
The History Nerd in me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
THE DISEASES OMG
IKR it’s just AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH RESEARCH
His shirt seems decent.
The mail coif without a cap on underneath, tho... oof. Much sweat. So rust.
Exactly I was screaming and shouting throughout the entire movie. Like please kill me.
A knights duty is to the king, not his heart. Omg. I hated this movie, if i started talking about everything that’s wrong I would literally spend hours typing.
That's such a mood. There's lots of issues, but the linguistics make me cringe the most. He should be speaking middle English and he's from before the great vowel shift! What he's speaking is more formal modern british English that's attempting to sound like early modern English. If they want him to be understood, the movie should make him able to write and have him write notes to her, or make it clear that magic changed his language, or absolutely anything to explain why he speaks the way he does.
Don’t come to Ohio. The only good thing we have going for us is that we are the 5th least likely state to be in danger from natural disasters.
I agree. I live in Cincinnati.
There's also you, so two good things.
I’m in southern Michigan...so hopefully I can get to y’all fast enough 😉
I heard you has some pretty decent rollercoasters.
True. Also a hell of a lotta rain
Oh my god so I know I’m mega late , but I’m a highschool teacher and lemme tell you , your students dumping their relationship problems on you is unbelievably common. Happens literally all the time. Cause like when you’re asking hey dude why’re you’re acting so weird they usually need to vent , and if you’re a comforting figure or they just want some leeway 🤷🏻♀️ basically being a teacher means teaching and being a counselor at the same time
Little historical storytelling fun fact about the whole "he has to find a girlfriend to become a better knight"-situation: In medieval stories (like 11th/12th century) it was a commonly used theme to have good fighters find a girl and settle down. Then over time they'd lose their knight qualities by chilling too much and fighting too little. To redeem themselves they'd have to ask their wife whether they're allowed to go on another adventure, more epic than the ones they had prior to their marriage. In the end of the story, after their great quest, the protagonist knight usually comes out a better knight than before, and all of that just because they found a girlfriend! So actually, what Amanda said as a joke in this video does make sense in a way :D
(Disclaimer: My knowledge comes specifically from German medieval fiction, because that was my major in uni. A lot of stories back then were straight up copied and then filigreed from French and English literature, so all of that should more or less be the same. I get though that what I explained above might vary depending on different works of fiction, different time periods and different cultural environments.)
This feels like a hallmark film, it has the same level of cringe.
I must watch this immediately.
I love cringe Christmas movies!!
Wait.... is the message of this movie that there is a chance that there is literally NO ONE living on earth right now that you can fall in love with? So much for "other fish in the sea".
oorat 😂😂
Give this movie some credit at least the" happy ending" wasn't her going back to the 13 hundreds with him because the writers apparently think love is more important than being treated like a person.
The real ending should be him dying of a common cold bwcause of his crappy 14th century immune system.
Is this a riff on the end of Kate and Leopold? I don’t care how sexy Hugh Jackman saying the word “butter” is, it’s not worth going back in time to the 18th century
@@tatehildyard5332 I always thought about that regarding about the ending of _Kate & Leopold_ ... she really went back to a time before she had rights and was considered a person.
"It's a fucking Netflix movie, I'm not looking for the continuity of time travel." Absolutely brilliant.
I love the absolute distain in your voice when you say “ meet cute”
No lie, the last time I watched any movie with Vanessa Hudgens in it was High School Musicial.
Sucker Punch.
@@ZedChuva same here
The last Vanessa Hudges movie I watched was her sex tape.
Anthony Anderson KJ that movie was horrible tf u on about
Last time was Thunderbirds.
My teacher was 22. Seriously. They laid off a bunch of old, experienced teachers, and replaced them with kids that literally just got out of college my last year of high school. Who knows? Maybe Vanessa's character graduated like a year before.
Yeah, my English teacher in 9th grade (2009) was like 22. Graduated university & then got hired as a teacher.
The fact that the knight didnt get any diseases while his journey in this time period was happening is more magical than anything
Or pass any along to his beloved. That we see, anyway.
Flora Posteschild yeah, but id think shes be more resilient?? Like her immune system or something idk
Tobi Onabanjo yah i mean shes probably at least vaccinated against smallpox or something that cole would be very likely to have
That’s an arming sword(one handed meant to be used with a shield), it’s weight is actually very very light being around 2.5 pounds at the very most it’ll be 5 pounds(depending on the craftsmanship).
Nonetheless, Love the video.
eeeeh. Not very light, Arming swords are of average weight, sword-wise. But yeah, swords are much lighter than most people think
Alright, spill it. Which sword channel is your favorite?
@@WolfHreda Shadiversity cause 1) He does everything not just swords(I absolutely love his castle reviews). And 2) Very loveable personality.
@@reickuhibata excellent choice. And his Brigandine is easily the most attractive piece of armor I've ever seen.
so this is a poor man's version of Kate and Leopold?
Clearly the witch’s goal is to remove the line of succession via love time travel so she can take over the kingdom.
This is like a Thor 1 fan fiction
Now I can't unsee it.
Hey. I know it's been a while since you posted this, just wanted to point out that swords don't weigh that much. Usually between 3-6 pounds.
Also, the likelyhood that a knight (a lesser nobleman) would know how to bake bread is extremely low.
aS tHe KiDS sAY, "wACk"
ngl, this movie is the cheesy shmultz I live for. You can definitely tell it's a movie where they thought of the title first and then had to build a story around it, and... essentially didn't, lol. This film had no plot, just a gimmick. Great movie to watch with friends while sharing a bucket of popcorn and a whole lot of laughs, though.
Its all an elaborate plan for the crone to take over the kingdom!! That will probably be in Knight before Christmas 4.
When I saw them end with the brother, my thought was that there will be a sequel with him. But he’s gay. Or something. Some kind of twist so it’s not just literally the same movie
About 5 minutes in you're telling me a teacher has more than just a house, she has a guest house too?
I think this makes more sense if you look at it from the female lead being the actual protagonist who needs something and the male lead being the one who helps her. His quest is to help her realize that true love is possible, it just so happens that the true love was him. I actually had a bigger problem with the fact he seemed quite clean and fresh, and the fact that he did not display more undesirable qualities due to him being from a society far in the past and a different country. The scene he calls the waitress a wench (which isn’t really an insult, just disrespectful in a modern context) was hilarious because that is exactly how he should have acted.
the best part of this is that it's a part of the christmas prince franchise and it's so easy to miss it.
Is it that someone mentions the town/country from that universe? I noticed that Vanessa very suspiciously dropped a place name in conversation
@@Hana9916 yep!
@@agroteraaaa The Netflix Christmas extended universe 😂
LMAO
But that means that there are at least 5 vanessa hudgenses existing in the same universe cuz the princess switch or whatever its called is also a part of the christmas prince universeeeee
All I can think about is the language barrier because English has changed a lot.
And culture shock
As far as the teacher shares too much, unless your name is Mr. Feeny, I'll have questions about that. And with an old person sending someone "back to the future", I'll stick with Doc Brown thank you very much.
Well, the Knight doesn't go BACK to the future until the end. So maybe the witch is fine for first times?
Just had to notice: Mr Knight wears his chain mail directly over his exposed hair. No one in the community would do that with real chain mail. It finds and pulls out every hair and it CHAFES.
I actually really enjoyed this movie, it's very silly and cheesy, exactly what me and my mother love.
There’s a whole Noah Centenino cinematic series that must have a video!
I saw it - I texted my friend during it and was like 'This is really cute....okay it's kinda lame...well, some cute parts again...the writing is so bad...' So yeah, I was all over the place. Mostly I thought it was dumb though.
If you want a gentlemen from the past falls in love with future baddy story, Kate and Leopoldo with Hugh Jackman does it so much better
12:20 A proper sword forged for combat is in the range of 2-3 pounds. The biggest ones rarely went over 4½.
My mom has been addicted to these Hallmark style Christmas movies for the past month and I walked in on her watching this. At least it has some charm if you don't think about it too hard. A lot of these movies are worse
Ohioan here! Teachers here don’t get paid enough for their job. They get paid not a lot
"Chronicles of Netflixia"
I just think it's weird that the "man from the past travels into the future" trope is still being done, when it wasn't even that great a trope anyway. But as soon as I heard about this film I immediatlely thought of Kate & Leopold and Just Visiting (with Jean Reno and Christian Clavier), which are both probably in their own right way better and more entertaining
See, I found this plot semi understandable, because a huge part of the culture surrounding knights at the time was based on the idea of chivalry and courtly love as defined in the court of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Think of the King Arthur tales. While those are largely believed to be fiction, they are still a suprisingly accurate representation of the aspects of knight culture. Both fighting and battling *and* love, romance, and chivalry were important parts of the lifestyle.
Therefore, it would stand to reason that learning to open one's heart and fall in love would make sense as a quest for a knight.
I mean, the movie is objectively bad, but it's quite fun, and this part is suprisingly sensible.
Okay... having to fall in love and stop being a knight to "become the perfect knight" is definitely weird but that is not the most confusing thing to me. I want to know why it was in 2019 and why Vanessa H's character?
Presumably the witch could have sent the knight anywhere, to any time period in the history of human civilization... so why specifically send him to fall in love with a teacher in 21st century Ohio?? Was there literally not a single person, in the entire English kingdom, that he could have fallen in love with in his own time period?
You have to go on a quest to find an enchanted sword for the prince.
You get to climb the tallest mountain and slay the dragon who lives at the peak
And you get date a middle school teacher
12:25 *medieval weaponry nerds have left the chat*
i legit choked at “the HUDGE herself, gabriella”
12:22 a small correction. A sword of that period would weigh between 1 and 1,5 kg (2 or 3 pounds). I don't think what will be a large problem.
My favorite actress is in like 5 Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies and I hate Christmas. They must be as spectacularly written as this one.
I'd only watch this if it had White Walkers and dragons. And the Mountain.
Maybe Vanessa Hudgens gouges this guy's eyes out in a battle to the death in a deleted scene. 🤞
For those wondering, Ohio's teachers are paid anywhere from $21-$74 thousand, soooooooooo I think that that's not great, but I'm only an education student so IDK. Also, that whole kneading scene is so similar to Patrick Swayze's "Ghost."
For a minute I thought you meant that much an hour and I was like "DAMN WHY AREN'T I IN EDUCATION? FUCK MY ACTING DEGREE-"
1337 the coolest of all years
The sheer amount of sh*tty Christmas movies on Netflix and Hulu really makes my want to unsub from both
Maybe the witch is saving these dudes from dying in the Crusades.
Can you imagine the trauma of being thrown from the 14th to 21st century? And this dude just rolls with it.
@6:35
Look, I get that I'm a few months late, but I have a legitimate grievance with this. 🧐 We are to believe that "the guy who clearly can't afford things for his kid," is a restuarant owner but he can't afford a $100 bicycle for his daughter on Christmas? Wha- 🤨
And I'm not saying that $100 isn't a life sustaining amount of money at times- because it absolutely can be. But. . . The owner of an independent diner in a major metropolitan hub . . . Shouldn't have to scrape the pennies together for an eight year old's bike.
Edit: Jeeze! Or gloves for WINTER?!?!
Phew, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Goodnight Folks.
I watched this movie when I was really sick and high on painkillers. Watching this review is causing me to reflect on that fever dream.
The crawling on the ice bit makes sense. Ice cracks because the weight of your body is dispersed through a smaller surface area if you are standing. Outting more pressure on the ice you're standing on. Crawling distributes the weight over a larger surface area decreasing the change that the ice willbreak under you.
swords dont weight a ton xD
in fact swords a very light ^^
1-1,5 kg circa
Oranges ? there where no oranges back then xD
6:14 good god who taught this man combat footwork??? Listen if you're telling me a character is a knight I expect him to at least walk like he's worn a sword for more than a week. I know not everyone is as much a martial arts stickler as me but come on, not crossing your legs is day one stuff.
I already dont like watching christmas movies but I turned it on for background noise. I actually sat down to watch and had to shut it off midway. I couldnt deal.
I am making my way through all your videos and they are just delightful. They are really cheering me up during this weird time, thank you.
Swords arnt that heavy, amd would not the crawl distribute him better so the weight would not be on his feet
I gotta say that old crone is a masterful villain: corrupting would-be knights and taking them away from the realm so she could possibly rule without any “knights in shining armor” arriving to save them.
7:00 the TV is playing another Netflix Hallmark-style holiday movie about a magic advent calendar (yes i did recognize it from one frame even tho I only saw the movie once)
hiding a bean in cake was a 16th century french tradition for candlemas (end of the liturgical christmas season, feb 2nd), so why does this 14th century english squire know about it
I would have done it this way:
The knight was next in line for some knightly honor/throne and his younger brother whose his rival, paid off a witch to send him(knight) away somewhere to the future in pretense of a quest, so that he(brother) could easily take the honor/throne. Knight goes to future and sees that no one remembers Christmas anymore - which is due to his brother getting the throne thus setting off a chain of events that have altered the future- knight assumes his quest is to make everyone remember/believe/celebrate in Christmas again with Vanessa's help. They do everything they can, but nothing seems to work. He figures out his brother betrayed him and this breaks the guise of the quest, forcing the witch to find the knight in the future, she gives him a choice; either stay with his love Vanessa or go back in time and claim his throne thus reversing the effect of no one celebrating Christmas. This is the choice that will determine whether he is a good knight or not, if he can pick the world/society over his own wants and desires. Also this choice will show vanessa that love truly exists, but sometimes not in a traditional fashion, she has to love the knight enough to want him to go back to his time period and make things right, common theme of; i loved him so much I let him go. He decides he has to go back and the two say their goodbyes. It is the night before christmas and the knight is back in his time period now. He reclaims his throne which results in Christmas being celebrated again. His brother is held in court for treason, then jailed.. in his jail cell he vows revenge and learns from the witch that his brother loves vanessa, this sets the gears in his mind to motion for what he's to do next.
However both brothers are oblivious that the witch is executing an elaborate plan that will send both brothers to war against one another,, which will leave the throne open for whomever is strongest to take it, meaning the witch will take it.
Will she be successful? Only time will tell.
Where is Netflix's number when I need it?
That's a darn good story
When you said "zips hin into the future", I thought, "Oh, Kate and Leopold, only stupid"
Only knight teleported to the future movie I'll accept is Just Visiting. It's so dumb and I love it so much.
So this is like a Christmas version of Splash? With Tom Hanks and the mermaid?
But nowhere near as good
0:30 That’s pretty cool. I have the same podracer set. I currently have almost all of the 20th anniversary Lego Star Wars sets (just waiting to get the Slave 1 for Christmas).
Coming in late here, but omg they are in Giant Tiger, a Canadian staple (and where you see our 'people of wal-marts'). Makes this movie even better.
Plot twist the witch waz actually trying to take over the kingdom but still wanted to give the knights a happy ending
Nah fam salaries for teachers in Ohio are shit unless you’ve spent your entire life teaching and have the highest of high degrees
Plot twist: The witch is on the side of the enemy & she’s actively using love as a way to diminish the ranks of the kingdom.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release the Falling Inn Love video! My dad puts that movie on ALL THE TIME, and more people need to know about it!
Ms. Amanda could play a teenager. And I bet she would find true love in her movie. 🙂
I feel like a better ending would be if the witch made him live for and extra 400 somthing years (and not she during that time) be a knight and such for that time, until he got back to Gabriellas time and then he would continue aging
I feel like if the whole Quest was focused on getting Vanessa with the single Dad , it would have been much better.
He's a family friend, that would be very awkward. And the age difference would have been icky
Saw it and I wanna point out that he has no ID, no social security number, no birth record, nothing.
It makes me mad that netflix started making hallmark style movies. They are making as much crappy movies as possible of every different genre but they are choosing quantity over quality. They should focus on making good movies instead of more movies. The same with tv shows.
I was a teacher and trust me, teens told me way more information than I wanted to know. In fact, I had to go to the principal to get them to talk to the students bc it was not appropriate
The film editor probably worked on the Mulan live action too
This movie was filmed in my home town!!! My aunt and I literally fast-forwarded through it till we got to scenes with places we recognised cus it was so boring.
I know it's been a year and this is a Netflix christmas movie but it still haunts me. He wouldn't have spoken English as we know it. He would have spoken Middle English. He would not have eaten bread as we know it--he would now have known what All Purpose Flour is, or how to bake it. How would he have understood or used commercial leavening products? I just don't understand.
Plot twist: Witch is from rival kingdom, trying to send all the successors to the future so that the kingdom would fall
PLEASE keep talking about love in Ye Old English, for some reason it sounds so good when you do it
Funny story. The "magic bean" in the bread comes from ancient rites where whoever got the bean was "king" for a short period of time, a week or two. They were exempt from any laws and could sleep with any woman even wives and virgins. Even the king or local nobles wives and daughters. And an emphasis on doing mischief. Then they were sacrificed so the crops would grow.
Why does every Christmas film take place in the same town? Lol
I couldn't help but notice the similarities between this and the first Thor movie.
After all, both feature a romance between a normal girl and an otherworldly being who is out of touch with present times. Then there's the plot convenience of them bonding out of the female lead's pity (because they hit the male lead with a car). Not to mention the gag where the male leads have a sweet tooth, which they give into excessively.
Now, I just want to make it clear, this is by no means a negative comment on the movie. I merely wanted to point out my observations. And I ultimately think this sort of trope is charming, and would be fun to see portrayed (but certainly not portrayed so much that it becomes one of the most hated tropes in existence).
This was filmed in Canada, town that’s mentioned it’s placed in is in canada Ontario as well
This is just the dollar store Christmas version of Kate and Leopold
me and my friend watched and were so pumped to see it. we loved how dumb it was. our only complaint was Mr Circle became a cop at the end
He wouldn't be speaking modern English yet in the 14th century. I know they aren't concerned with historical accuracy, but that always bothers me.
Bothers me as well.
i dont know much about ice (floridian) but i understand that laying on your belly distributes your weight enough to significantly lessen the risk of the ice breaking, and his sword probably doesnt weigh more than 3ish pounds, so that probably tracks
The premise (guy insists he’s a knight/angel after getting hit by car, hospital says he has amnesia, etc) is blatantly taken from the novel “An Angel For Emily”!!
Oh shit. Ella Kenion plays _"Old Crone,"_ I've seen her in things.
