igorretz I'm not a huge fan of Franco and Co, but this film is made with a ton of swag and off-the-hinges humor, that is just pleasant to watch.Sometimes they take it too far, I admit, but still really funny and it's filled with love for the genre it mocks, which is also important. I think there should be more fantasy parodies like this one, it makes for a great movie date :)
lilygirl-33772 I watched this with my D&D group. They had all seen it and loved it, but I hadn't seen it yet. Well, needless to say we spent that entire night laughing and having a great time. I was laughing so hard, my abs hurt!! Twist it and punch the tip will forever go down as one of the greatest hand job requests ever xD And the part with the minotaur was just TOO funny. I won't say too much just in case because nobody likes spoilers. After the movie, we couldn't even finish our campaign because literally, nobody could stop laughing. It was amazing and I can't wait for another movie night that is as fun as this night was. If you like D&D, stoner movies and laughing your ass off, I definitely recommend Your Highness!!
srdjan_veljkovic This movie makes fun of all the fantasy movies that take themselves too seriously. Not just medieval ones, but Star Wars and the like, too.But, it's not a spoof, nor is it a classic comedy, nor a time-travel story (someone from today going back to medieval times or vice-versa). It's a combination of elements from all those and deserves credit for trying something different.It's very silly by intent, so there's no sense in thinking about it's realism or the like. But, it has a mostly coherent story, interesting characters and is funny most of the time.Could have been more funny, relied less on foul language and genitalia related jokes and been even more silly. But, nobody's perfect.The greatest impression for me was Natalie Portman's character. It makes fun of all these unbelievable "strong/warrior women" you get a lot in movies lately, but doesn't over-do it. Even some seemingly ridiculous things, like when she grabs the Danny McBride's character, a larger and slightly over-weight guy, by his crotch and then easily throws him over her head without leverage, seem silly in this context, not forced or off-putting (as Uma Thurman's Kill Bill antics feel). Also, Natalie Portman was a great fit to play this character. In general, the casting is very good.It would be nice if more movies tried to do something different, like this one does, it's refreshing.
namashi_1 One expects 'Your Highness' to be a laugh-out-loud funny adventure, with a lot wit & humor. But, what it turns out to be, is strictly an okay fare that is funny in bits & pieces. 'Your Highness' Synopsis: When Prince Fabious's bride is kidnapped, he goes on a quest to rescue her... accompanied by his lazy useless brother Thadeous.'Your Highness' stands on an erratic screenplay. Danny McBride & Ben Best's Screenplay begins in the right tone, but surrenders to profanity & over-the-top sequences, to leave an impression. One is clearly missing cleaner humor & also good jokes. David Gordon Green's Direction is pretty good. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing also is well-done.Performance-Wise: Danny McBride is alright. James Franco delivers an earnest performance. Natalie Portman, however, steals the film with a terrific act. She's sexy & tough. Zooey Deschanel is cute, as always. Justin Theroux is ordinary. Toby Jones & Damian Lewis justify their parts.On the whole, 'Your Highness' misses the mark.
