KNIGHT'S TALE (2000)

The film is a tale of three squires whose master dies prior to a joust that brings them their food and shelter.  In order to to have food for the evening they decide that the youngest of them, whom has some talent, should joust and bring home a prize for food.  This escalates and with the help of an unheard of writer they counterfeit family tree papers, which gives them the right to continue jousting and build wealth.  Knight's Tale is neither drama, comedy, or satire, since it uses all of these aspects to sell humor, morals, and values.  Unfortunately, the value of the story vanishes when these three genres conflict with each other making one laugh at the film rather than the parody in the film.
