All's Faire in Love is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Scott Marshall and written by R. A. White and Jeffrey Ray Wine. The film stars Owen Benjamin as Will, a college student who is assigned to work at a renaissance fair by his professor (Cedric the Entertainer) after missing several classes, and Christina Ricci as Kate, an investment banker who leaves her job to work at the fair.

The film was shot primarily at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Local residents, costumed participants and fairegoers were used as extras.[1]

The film was originally titled Ye Olde Times but was renamed in late September 2008.[2] Jack Black and Lindsay Lohan were attached at one point to star in the film.[3]

White making his directorial debut based on a screenplay he also wrote.[4] In November 2007, it was reported that Matthew Lillard, Orlando Jones and David Arquette joined the cast of the film, Justin Chatwin being attached to star as the male lead.[5] In March 2008, it was revealed that Lindsay Lohan is on board to play the female lead in the film.[6] In September 2008, it was announced that Owen Benjamin, Christina Ricci and Cedric the Entertainer stepped in to replace Chatwin, Lohan and Black respectively, Bill Engvall, Louise Griffiths and Ann-Margret joining the cast in supporting roles. It was also reported that Scott Marshall will replace R.A. White as director, the film being renamed All's Faire in Love.[7]
