Today I’m sharing our review of Justin & the Knights of Valour, along with a fabulous opportunity to win one of three copies of the DVD for your own family to enjoy!
Young Justin lives in a kingdom without knights! He dreams of following in his Grandfather’s footsteps and becoming one of the famed Knights of Valour but his father wants him to settle down to a life without adventure. Inspired by his Grandmother Justin decides to follow his heart and embarks upon a daring quest to become a knight by himself.
Sounds like fine family fun, but did the film live up to the write up? I let my three young adventurers decide:
Sir G – I think it was the best film I’ve seen so far!
Lady I – It was brilliant and most of all I liked the girl who helps Justin.
Sir N – I really liked the whole film, it was really funny!
So the kids loved it but what about us adults? In recent years and with the likes of Shrek, Despicable Me and the Pixar films, adults have been treated to family movies which also cater to our sense of humour and don’t have us nodding off in the corner. I wasn’t completely convinced I would enjoy Justin & the Knights of Valour but was pleasantly surprised. It doesn’t contain belly rumbling laughs which only parents understand, it’s much lighter and more delicately written than that. Some of the lip syncing seemed a little off in places (may have been my copy though I suppose) and I don’t think it’s a movie parents will watch entirely on their own, but for an afternoon with the kids or even as a simple way to occupy them it’s light hearted and sweet fun.
