Very funny comedy

This is a very funny comedy, with some really good characters. A knight and his servant from late 11th century France get sent forward in time, after a wizard gets his magic spell wrong. As the two men try to adjust to life in the 1990s, they get into various problems, and meet their descendants. The knight is furious that his castle is now owned by the descendant of his peasant servant, while his descendant is relatively poor.

Great acting throughout and with some great scenes, such as when the peasant tries to cook a leg of lamb using an umbrella in the open fire. The ending was quite good, although a bit silly how the peasants ended up.

Enjoyable overall, apart from a few swear words which kind of spoil it a bit. I could not keep up with the French speaking most of the time, fortunately I watched it with English subtitles, although as they spoke so fast I had to read them fast.
