I'm very conservative and a mom, so for this movie I put all those thoughts aside and just enjoyed the film. I laughed my butt off! I would never go around swearing or doing crude things and I don't condone anyone who does...but this is a movie, and a dumb one at that. That's the point, its supposed to be dumb. I don't understand the bad reviews. If you know its going to be a disgusting movie based on other reviews, not to mention the rating advisory, then why give it a bad review for being disgusting?
I found myself chuckling for hours afterword. There is something about the way McBride says the F word (and he said it a lot) that makes me giggle every time. Portman was wonderful! She is so serious and believable, completely out of place with everyone else and yet it works so well. The special effects and action were actually great, much better then I expected. Not only is it funny but with all the action its not boring either. I have no idea how the cast made it though this one with a straight face. Too funny! Your Highness [Blu-ray + Digital Copy]
W.T.F. Why the hell are there so many bad reviews in here about this movie? This movie was hilarious! Think about it; Natalie Portman, a Minotaur raping a skinny little guy, a character created just so they can say "dick-less" servant, and a forest full of naked hotties are just a few elements of this film that make this a very good movie! If you had high hopes for this movie, then you're just not thinking right. That like grabbing a glass of 7-up and expecting water when you take a drink. I'm just saying.
Seriously though. Take it as it is. A fresh swing at a stoner type comedy. It isn't a re-make of any other movies, unlike a lot of the other movies on the shelves right now. You don't have to be high or drunk to enjoy it, although I'm sure it might enhance it. If this isn't your cup of tea, then chalk up your rental fee as a loss and STFU. As for the rest of us that liked it, I'm going to wait a couple months and watch it again and laugh my ass off...again. Btw, If Natalie Portman is reading this. "hi"
we need more movies like this. very nice to see good actors have such a wonderful sense of humor. so many memorable lines. if you like silly movies, you will be cracking up from start to finish. it wont get juices in your water supply. people rating this movie poorly will never understand this humor, because they hate mechanical inventions. and you know this.
This movie wasn't quite what I expected, but did not really disappoint. There was a ton of crude humor and an uncomfortable moment with a pedophiliac creature. The crude humor was perfectly timed though and the movie was a laugh the whole way through. James Franco, Danny McBride and Natalie Portman were all fantastic and it was nice seeing Franco and Portman in something fun and ridiculous like this. I definitely recommend this movie, if you're looking for a good laugh.
Your Highness is a diamond in the rough that lovers of raunchy comedy cannot afford to miss! It follows the adventures of two brother princes (James Franco and Danny McBride). When Fabious' (Franco) fiance (Zooey Dachanel) is captured by the evil wizard Leezar, he and his brother Thadious (McBride) must set off on mighty quest to win her back and foil Leezar's (expectedly gross) evil plans!
Along their journey, the brothers meet a cast of funny and totally inappropriate characters that include a mighty warrior woman (Natalie Portman), a molesting wizard, and a *ahem* well-endowed, frisky Minotaur. Their new friends and foes lend them strength in one form or another all leading up to the climax as they face off against the mighty and evil Leezar.
All-in-all, Your Highness is an excellent example of how a raunchy comedy is supposed to be made. You take one part A-list talent (Portman, Franco) and mix it with one part up-and-comer (McBride), add generous amounts of gross-out jokes in between good bouts of action and let it all stew in a medieval setting.
This easily earned a four-star rating from me.
This movie reminds me of an online rpg; sword and sorcery setting (provided by the developers) mixed with very creative vulgarity (provided by a lot of the players). The attention to detail in the script and sets is extremely refreshing. I should think people with an uninhibited sense of humor will be laughing from start to finish. There are perhaps dozens of instant-classic lines and moments.
Those who don't like the idea of over-the-top adult themes mixed with their dungeons and dragons should steer well clear, because that's what this film offers in spades.
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.
It looks like a good number of the people who gave this a low score went into this movie expecting something on par with Lord Of The Rings. Seriously? The main star is Danny McBride - right off the bat you should know that this is going to be a crude, stupid, medieval, rendition of the highly rated Eastbound and Down.
Personally, I loved it! It had my brothers and I laughing hysterically through several of the scenes. There is no reason that this movie should be rated less than 4 stars. I found it to be much funnier than Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Albeit, much raunchier and crass. - David Gordon Green'
