If you haven't seen it, it's honestly one of my favorite films. It's got Alan Tudyk, Paul Bettany, Heather Ledger, and Mark Addy so it's funny AND cheesy in the right ways. It's not an Oscar winning movie, and it's not a period accurate historical drama. It opens with the crowd seemingly doing We Will Rock You and the film plays it off like the coronets were actually the guitars, and there's a whole bit where they play off Heath Ledger's announcer in the tourney like they just invented WWE promos/intros.

It's funny, sweet, peak 00's almost-rom-com material.
