Your High Mess...
All of the supposed 'jokes' hinged entirely around two ideas: Puttingswearing in the middle of traditional dialogue, and bar-room humour ina historical setting.Dashes of these things here and there would have been fun, but theymade no effort whatsoever to mix it up... There was no wit on displayat all; anybody could have written what passed for the script, and thatwas just on the rare occasions that they could actually be bothered touse one.When all of the intended comedic parts belong in the same format, thenit quickly gets boring for somebody on the lookout for a spot ofingenuity.It's more like a cheap home movie with people goofing off, than afully-fledged movie... If you find the amateur quality endearing, thenI suppose you might get a kick out of it, but with all the money that'sspent on movies these days, I just wish they'd put in a bit more effortto have it feel less like a filmed rehearsal.

Raunchiness with Hints of Humor
Its tough having a perfect, over-achiever as an older brother,especially you are an overachiever in debauchery. Of course beingspoiled, self-centered and lazy doesn't help your image either. But ifyou want the accolades, you must make some changes.The underlying premise of the movie was actually rather interesting, aswell as the fact that there were some humoresque moments due to spoofsat established fairy tales, and the actors created memorablecharacters. But this cannot override the absolute crudeness and lack oftrue comedy. Unfortunately, the main focus of the film seemed to be topush vulgarity to its limits. And that is in the edited version, whichshould be rated X.The world would be done a great favor if all copies of this film werelost forever.

Great movie!
This review is from: Your Highness [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) I wasn't sure how good this would be, I had high expectation initially or at least average expectations, because the trailers looked really good and I liked the cast.... but I heard some rumor that they didn't actually do much of a script more of a "plan" with a lot of improv. And while there was definitely a lot of improv, it's not uncommon in comedy movies like this. Either way, I'm not sure where the "no script" part came from, the movie was great and definitely coherent unlike something you would expect from something unscripted with too much improv. The comedy is great, the plot is decent, and the special effects are passable to good, depending on the scene. If you're a fan of the actors or a fan of unconventional comedy movies, then Your Highness is for you. The style is very opposite to a lot of action movies actually... rather than a action movie mixed in with bits of comedy, it's a comedy movie mixed in with a bit of action. The movie does stand up to repeat viewings as well, so this is something you could proudly add to your collection, rather than rent. The extras are decent, if a bit sparse, and I haven't had a chance to listen to the commentary yet, but the 30ish minute making of was very enjoyable. Oh, and I suppose this might sell some people - you get to see Natalie Portman in a thong.

A Ripping Ribald Yarn
This review is from: Your Highness (DVD) I think poor marketing and critical indifference led to this film's failure to find it's audience at the box office. The title led you to believe that this was Cheech and Chong go Medieval. There are a few instances of imbibing the herb but for the most part it's a rousing action-adventure comedy. James Franco, Danny McBride, and Natalie Portman are engaging and the effects are pretty good. Not classic stuff but it's endearing enough for undiscriminating viewers to give it a toke.

Unfortunately, just not very funny :'(
This review is from: Your Highness (Amazon Instant Video) Let me start by saying I am a huge Danny McBride fan, I love Eastbound & Down, and I thought Pineapple Express was hilarious. Unfortunately, Your Highness just wasn't very funny. It tried hard to be, you could obviously tell where you should have been laughing, but it just failed to deliver. Medieval theme + crude humor could have equaled hilarious, but it simply was not pulled off in this movie.

Less fun than a stoned trip to the Renaissance Fair
Completely idiotic stoner comedy set incongruously (though notamusingly)among the knights and damsels of the Middle Ages. Kind oflike Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but with a lot more weed,non-stop F-bombs, and almost zero laughs. Perhaps the Jack Black dudYear Zero would make a better point of comparison. Danny McBride rarelylets on that he can actually be funny at times in other things, JamesFranco looks like he'd be more comfortable with his arm pinned backunder that rock from 127 Hours, and the usually adorable ZooeyDeschanel has almost nothing to do whatsoever. And if you're thinkingabout renting out the DVD just to briefly see Natalie Portman in athong, keep in mind that you first have to sit through the spectacle ofseeing Toby Jones WITHOUT the benefit of a thong. That's right: you'regoing to get mooned by Dobby the House Elf.
Sherazade (18 May 2012)
Unwatchable!
I'm sorry was this meant to be funny? Or Was something deliberatelybeing spoofed here, I'm at a loss. This explains why James Francolooked so stoned while hosting the 2011 Oscars. He must have beenjuggling the filming of the crappy movie and rehearsing for his hostingduties and both responsibilities got the better of him. As for NataliePortman, well at least she has an Oscar now so she can do whatever shewants at this point whether or not it is considered career-suicide.Zooey Deschanel virginal princess in need of rescuing was the onlyfunny bit in the entire film, I don't mean her performance I mean theirony in casting choice. I am only writing this much because thiswebsite requires you to write but so many lines before they can approveyour review.

Your Highness isn't funny enough as an adult spoof of the fairy tale aspect of the Middle Ages though it still has some moments
Just watched this medieval comedy with my mom. I knew coming in itwould be a bit raunchy and I laughed at many of those scenes but thatalone doesn't make this a very funny movie especially since many of theaction scenes seemed to have been done with some seriousness ofpurpose. Perhaps it was because of what I said in that last statementthat I didn't cringe too much when my mom were watching those samescenes since I didn't think she would pay too much attention to themespecially since she was also preparing some meals for the next day aswell. Seeing James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and ZooeyDeschanel together in this provided some entertaining moments butoverall, this wasn't funny enough to me to fully recommended. Still,Your Highness is worth a look for anyone in the mood for a ribald spoofof the Middle Ages as turned to the attitudes of the 21st century...

Your Highness (2011)
I was really looking forward to this. I grew up on films like Willow,Krull, Princess Bride, so a return to 80's fantasy amidst all this Lordof the Rings Harry Potter stuff was exciting. What this movie failed todo was gel as both a comedy and a fantasy. None of the humor derivesfrom the genre. This is no Blazing Saddles, Airplane, or BlackDynamite. It's just a fantasy movie with some stoners in it. We havetwo jokes. One, where people swear, because people shouldn't swear inye old days. And 2, penises. The amount of jokes revolving around cocksis incredible. I'm sure it's a world record. One character doesn't havea penis, another takes one as a trophy, and the price for valuableinformation from a wizard is to rub his penis. Great actors like Dance,Lewis, and Jones are not used for comedy, instead they seem out ofplace acting so seriously. The effects and sets are brilliant, as arethe costumes. This is why I'm so sad, because it looked like such awell produced fantasy movie. All the great jokes are in the trailer.Entertaining as a fast paced action fantasy, but a complete misfire asa comedy.

A blast
A disappointing box office return may find the destiny of Your Highness as being a future cult classic, which is somewhat disappointing in itself considering that it's a hilarious blast for its whole running time. Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green re-unites with co-stars Danny McBride and James Franco, as they play a pair of princes that embark on a quest to save Franco's wife to be (Zooey Daschenel) from an evil wizard (Justin Theroux). Along the way they come across a series of hilariously violent misadventures, as well as team up with a gorgeous warrior (Natalie Portman). I don't want to say much else about the film, for fear that it will spoil the ridiculously funny exploits that unfold throughout. Granted that Your Highness is definitely not something for everyone, but for what it's worth, this film is a hoot. All in all, leave your brain and inhibitions at the door for Your Highness, and you'll have a smoke-filled blast the whole way through.

Bleh!
Yet again another movie where dumb, fat, ugly, men get hot chicks tofall on their faces to please them. YAWN!!!! Natalie Portman's character - "The strong female hero" is just a stupidand FAILED attempt at excusing their over the top degradation of women. The fact that this movie was made for (and clearly by) 13 year oldboys, is not lost on me. And, while I understand I fall way outside thedemographic - because I have brains and breasts - this movie is a sadexcuse for entertainment.The gay humor is tired, over played and unoriginal - get some newmaterial PLEASE! And let's be honest, the drug references were justGROSS. The movie has no plot to speak of, no inventive or creative storytelling, basically it's just an excuse for a bunch of wealthy actors toparade around acting like total morons.Hooray for Hollywood and their continued aspiration of dumbing down anentire generation! Well Played - Bravo!!!

102 minutes of horrible
For some time now I've made it a rule not to watch comedies becauseexperience has taught me that in 95% of the cases they are medium toplain bad. So, in spite of my better judgment I went to some friends tosee this movie.I will admit, it had some funny moments , but all in all it was justgrotesque. There was virtually no moment in this movie when youwouldn't have to hear a sexual reference. I think this is the only wayMcBride and Ben Best could make their little brains think of a way tofill 102 minutes worth of script. James Franco and Natalie Portman , why oh why?James Franco just started to be recognized and get some praise, NataliePortman won a Oscar, why would they possibly associate their name withthis? I don't even know what was worse, the fact that they accepted togo along with this stupidity or the fact that they actually took theirroles seriously.Conclusion : Do not waste your money on this, and most importantly ,don't waste your time on this. It has to be one of the worst movies Ihave seen in some time.

This movie was awful and painful to watch
It is so sad when one has to resort to obnoxious sexual jokes to try tomake this movie funny. This movie was so not funny! It had greatpotential and they just dragged it through the mud.What is really disturbing is that some of these jokes involvereferences to childhood sexual molestation. Is that supposed to befunny? I can't believe this script actually made it through theexecutives at Universal Pictures.Guess I'll never see a refund for this dog of a movie! And Hollywood wonders why movie attendance is down when they put outgarbage like this! The only reason this got a 1 out of 10 is that wecouldn't go below a 1.

A homage to 80s fantasy that only half works
It's amazing how as we children of the late 70s and early 80s reachmiddle age how much those films we loved so much at the time stillremain strong and powerful memories and influences on us decades later.It's certainly the case with Green and McBride in this homage to the"golden age" of fantasy cinema that happened post-Star Wars and whichsaw such classics as "Krull" "Legend" "Willow" "Clash of the Titans""Hawk the Slayer" "Conan the Barbarian/The Destroyer" "Red Sonya" "TheDark Crystal" "The Princess Bride" and many others. With the notableinsertion of "Krull" into that love letter to 80s actioners "PINEAPPLEEXPRESS" it was clear Green and co had love for this genre, and it wastempting to imagine what they might bring to it, but with a brake onexpectations remembering the improvised way these movies are made. Infact so it turns out. Much of the comedy element is actual rather weakand struggles for air like a landed fish. A lot of money and effort ismade on creating lovely 80s things like the Jim Henson style wizardcreature or the animatronic Minatour, but the payoffs comedy wise areoften weak. Even the "Bubo" mechanical pigeon never really comes toanything except that "Ha! Ha! There's that silly R2-D2 bird from"Clash".." initial laugh. As others have said though, the actionsequences were better planned and executed hence a spike in qualitywhenever they appear, plus of course Green, McBridge and co indulgingtheir boyhood dreams of re-staging those oh-so-cool fantasy moments forreal. The arena fight with the hand monster (a decent idea and anoriginal one too) and the final heavily "willow" inspired battle(complete with multiple inter cut fights were we have fun seeing whichheroes and which villains will be paired off in the end level tagfight, just like in the originals) There scenes are not onlyprofessionally staged but also played largely straight and all thebetter for it. As for the cast, McBride is OK, Franco again playscomedy which is were his real forte lies (he has almost cancelled thetight assed embarrassment of Harry Osbourne and "Flyboys"/"Tristran andIsolde") Theroux was almost unrecognisable but having fun as the bigbad, Zooey Deschanel played an irritating idiot which is an ideal rolefor her, while Portman can still call on Amidala for a tough actiongirl part when necessary.It really is a film that began life as a "Hey! Wouldn't it be cool tomix all our favourite 80s fantasy movies and play them out like acomedy" idea and didn't really get very far beyond that. Still it isstill fun and silly, like the originals, and makes for a good nightout.

Vulgar train wreck... So, you were expecting Shakespear?
Like a train wreck, which I have only seen on the news, it is hard to not watch once you notice it. Having paid to see it, we had to stick it out. It has some good laughs, but if I had known more about it I would not have bothered. I can't say I didn't like it... much. It's just that there were a bunch of moments where I was contemplating turning it off, but felt compelled to see what was coming next. So, three stars because I stayed with it to the end.
Richard Haven (12 May 2012)
A waste of time and space
Crassness can have a charm of its own; this movie does not. It isagonizingly, embarrassingly slow and unfocused. It uses foul language,not as the poetry of Deadwood, but as adolescent boys shoutingobscenities in the dark, sniggering and daring each other to try andsay "doo-doo head" in more graphic terms.The Trivia section says that all lines were extemporaneous; I believeit. besides the dreadful pacing and self-conscious (but not at allfunny) vulgarity, the dialog is horrible and the editing, notsurprisingly, is full of half-lines and dead-end conversations. If youare Michael McKeen, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer, then you canwing it; these guys ain't them.James Franco, for all his James Dean prettiness, is the only one whocommits to this disaster. He really tries to fulfill a character whichis as poorly defined and unfocused as the rest. At least in the first40 minutes, after which I walked out. Watching golf would have been abetter use of my time. I'm glad that I did not see Ms. Portman'sperformance as it would have been tragically wasted or equally bad.Don't. See. This. Movie.

Your ultimate lowness
Your Highness is a movie, if there ever is one, that is an insult tothe words "Gross-out" and "comedy" and the dash between the first twowords. What's even more insulting is the fact that it came from such atalented director, David Gordon Green. That guy directed PineappleExpress, and a number of lower-key serious ones that are worth mentionas well. But alas, Your Highness is an ultimately unfunny embarrassmentof a film that makes the god-awful "Step Brothers" look hilarious.The film's story is set in Medieval England and basically revolvesaround Thadeous, a lazy and fat stoner slob with a successful brother,Fabious. Fabious has just returned from saving his wife, Belladonna,from an evil wizard with three moms called Lezarre. As they are aboutto get married, on the wedding day, Lezarre kidnaps Belladonna andbrings her back to his castle for the sole purpose of deflowering her,with the help of his three mothers. They take some guy I couldn't careabout named Courtney as they go on their quest. Their quest includesmany things such as masturbating a wizard creature thingy, ending up ina trap and blah blah blah... yeah.That's about as much of a story you'll get from Your Highness. Becausemuch of the film's potential to have a good story is wasted on jokesabout sex, paedophilia, wearing a monster penis around your neck and awhole bunch of other gross and raunchy stuff that's too raunchy to befunny, and too dull to be even considered humour, even unfunny humourat that. The film basically subjects its audience to such nasty andgross stuff for the entire duration, and while I love gross-out humour,there's a fine line between gross and funny.That's not to say there wasn't any funny moments, because there were,in fact, two: One where Thadeous goes around, stoned out of his mind,chasing sheep, and another being where they are under attack in aritual including a beast which is controlled by a fat man's hand. I'mnot gonna lie, I just spent 20 minutes trying to remember the parts Idid think were funny. That's never a good sign. There were a couplechortles as well, but I can't even remember those parts. There's anincredible amount of gory violence in the film too, but the only reasonthe gore is so shocking is because of the rest of the film being sostatic and blasé. Despite the violence, the film is not much of anaction movie. Problem is, it's not much of a comedy either, at least topeople who know what funny actually means.Overall, while this film is rated 18A in Canada, I find mys elf anumber of years years past its intended target audience- that is, 14year old tweens who find jokes about baby rape and other disgustingstuff funny. And mind you, I've been known around my friends as the onewith the incredibly sick and twisted sense of humour, but even still,this film is just not funny. I would definitely recommend staying awayfrom this flick, no matter how much you love gross humour or sick andtwisted stuff.

It is what it is (pretty damn funny)
I can see why some people have written negative reviews about YourHighness, it won't appeal to everyone, but then again I don't think itaims to. Your Highness, isn't trying to win any academy awards, it's acomedy and as comedies go its pretty good. To me there was a good dealof laughs in this film. Franco is the perfect straight man to Mcbride'sidiocy. The scene by the campfire had me laughing my head off, just atthe sheer awkwardness, coupled with Franco's perfect comic timing. Thesupporting cast also do a good job, the self-pitying Courtney (RasmusHardiker) gets some laughs. Natalie Portman plays a brilliant role as aheroine out for revenge. The evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux) doeshave some jokes which fall flat, but these are quickly forgottenamongst the other gags in the film. There are some rather crude jokes(the child molestation ones for example), however these actually suitthe tone of the movie and are ultimately quite funny. I thoroughlyrecommend Your Highness to anyone; don't let some of the critics putyou off.
