Summary: THE BEST FAMILY FUN FARE OF ALL TIME!
Review: This is the movie where I fell in love with Danny Kaye. They showed this movie at school when I was in the third grade, and I have loved it ever since! When I grew up and they invented VCR's, it was one of the first movie's I got. I wore it out and had to get a new copy! Now I am showing it to my children, and the cycle starts again. If you love to laugh and have fun, this is the movie for you!

Summary: Wonderful Fun for EVERYONE!
Review: The Court Jester was, in my opinion, the funniest movie Danny Kaye made. It keeps you laughing from the begining to the end, with a story line that combines many adventure tales, and twists 'em into hilarity. It is set in the time of Robin Hood, includes parts that could be from Zorro (In the movie, a Robin Hood character is called 'the fox') and has quips such as " The PURPLE Pimpernel" which resides on the rear end of the baby king. A must for every video library.

Summary: One of the funniest movies my family and I have ever seen.
Review: My family and I just love 'The Court Jester'! Our favorite parts are the parts where Hawkins is 'snapped in and snapped out', and we also love the part where Hawkins is entertaining the King by singing, 'When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad as I was from the day I was born..." I truly recommend that everyone get this movie. It is spectacular!

Summary: One of my all time favorite movies.
Review: This is an absolutely hilarous movie, from beginning to end. Aside from being a dead-on parody of the Robin Hood movies, it's packed with classic comedy and song bits. Basil Rathbone is the perfect evil villian, and Kaye is perfect as a bumbling peasant pressed into service to overthrow the villainous King. If you don't buy this because you mistakenly expect an old comedy to be boring, tiresome, or dated, then you'll be missing out on a lot of laughs.

Summary: A timeless American Comedy classic!!
Review: We've seen this one over & over again and constantly laugh at the antics and clever word usage in the movie. Great for all ages, humorous and an ending with good values. Colorful characters, costuming, plot and dialogue. I'm giving it to someone as a remedy for an illness. Laughter is good medicine and this is some of the best!!

Review: Danny Kaye is always fun for the whole family. "The pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle. The chalice with the palace holds the brew that is true." One of those movies you remember for years to come.
