The adventure comedy Little Knights’ Tale takes us to a castle and nearby fortress looming in the vicinity, surrounded by a deep forest. The rather peaceful life here is turned upside down by an unexpected event. Martin of Vamberk, a virtuous knight and a caring father of five, is accused of witchcraft and plundering expeditions. And so he departs for the royal court to defend his honor, leaving the fortress in the hands of his eldest son Peter and his siblings. He does not have the faintest idea that the accusation was the work of his envious, greedy and totally despicable neighbor Albrecht of Krvenos, who wants nothing more to take possession of his land. It seems that his dastardly deed is all but complete. But Albrecht soon realizes that outwitting a bunch of little knights is sometimes harder than defeating an army of Saracens… (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Oh dear! Someone either got the genre wrong again here, or I don't know what "family film" means. I always thought this concept meant a film that ideally the whole family should enjoy, a film that everyone should have something to choose from, and no one should feel awkward about watching it. But Little Knights Tale cannot possibly entice anyone over the age of five (I wouldn't even call this a children's film, more like a preschool spectacle), which is pretty terrible. From the point of view of an adult, Janák's film lacks essentially everything - story, humor, an attractive spectacle of anything (anyone) alive or inanimate, atmosphere, or meaning. The actors are mostly terrible (the child actors, admittedly, try here and there, but it's no use) and Pavel Kříž in particular should be hung upside down from the castle walls for his performance. Yuck.
