Storyline

After a sorceress transports medieval knight Sir Cole (Josh Whitehouse) to present-day Ohio during the holiday season, he befriends Brooke (Vanessa Hudgens), a clever and kind science teacher who's been disillusioned by love.

But as he and Brooke grow closer, Sir Cole begins to wonder just how much he wants to return to his old life.

Trivia

When Brooke turns on the TV, The Holiday Calendar plays on the screen, and then Sir Cole watches Holiday in the Wild. Both are Netflix originals.

Goofs

At 5.24 minutes in the movie the knight meets an old woman and says hello. The word hello was introduced in 1827, where as the scene is from 1334. So by that time the hello word was not introduced.

Quotes

Sir Cole: A knight always keeps faith. It's part of our code.
Brooke: What else is part of your knight's code?
Sir Cole: A knight is sworn to valor and virtue. His blade defends the good, and his might upholds the weak. His temper shall be led by patience, and his kindness will give aid to those who seek it.

User Reviews

Everything you want in a rom com

The fact you can tell what's going to happen at every moment is possibly the best thing about this. If you want to chill have wine and watch something not so serious it is perfect for that. Very cliche and very cute
