Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world-Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparents fiance before their kingdom is destroyed. Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, hes settled for a life of wizards weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux)...

I really can't bash this movie too much. Basically, if you went to gosee it, you should have known what to expect to see and if you didn'tlike it, it's your own fault. Just because Natalie Portman is in it,doesn't mean you're going to see an Oscar worthy film. Your Highnessaccomplishes what it meant to do which was to be a raunchy "stoner"comedy. Although, it's pegged as a "stoner" comedy, you really don'thave to be a "stoner" to have some laughs. And really, just lighten up,turn your brain off, and have some laughs. Yes, it IS funny hearing the"F" word being said during medieval times. That being said however, Ido feel that the movie did fall short in certain areas. It COULD HAVEbeen funnier. Some jokes just felt like recycled jokes from earlier onin the film. Also, James Franco was definitely underutilized. Althoughhe was supposed to be the dashing prince, he could have been funnywhile doing so. In the end, if you actually paid money to go see this,you can't b!tch about it sucking. You should've known what you weregetting yourself into.

There are so many f bombs that if we had just used the movie to count them, it just might have made up for an insipid plot, poor acting and total lack of humor. Wow, this is a stinker!

This review is from: Your Highness (Amazon Instant Video) I don't really know why but I just couldn't laugh at this, and this is coming from someone that likes Norbit. Obviously my standards are not that high. There is just no original humor, no redeeming story. It's as though they feeling adding a curse to a sentence makes it funny. The effects are good and Natalie Portman is alright in it. But for the most part the jokes just felt old I think. For example in one scene a bowl cut is compared to a penis. Stuff most of us heard in middle school. If comedy is all about timing I think this movie came out 10 years too late for me.

This review is from: Your Highness (DVD) I put it in my machine and it doesn't play at all, I don't have any problems with my other tapes, but this is absolutely useless to me. I didn't open it until january so it is too late to send back, but I will not buy from this company again..

This DVD forces you to watch commercials and previews including "Bring it on the Musical"! ARRGGGGGThere are so many adds. Adds for the concept of bluray technology, horrible movies, digital services, they just don't stop. Six minutes and 30 seconds of my life wasted on drivel. The following DVD controls are disabled during the preview:FastforwardChapter ForwardTop MenuAdvanceCuriously rewind is supported.Just not worth the hassle for this B movie.

I badly wanted to like this. The trailer was tempting, with somehopeful gags.And there was stuff in it I liked - I liked the look of it, and thespecial effects were fine. The story was OK and the idea was good.And then we come to what I didn't like.One, the F word is not a joke in and of itself. Sometimes it can fuel ajoke: here, it mostly didn't.Two, there seems to be a belief that if you make your central charactera loud mouthed, ignorant, offensive oaf, that is funny. Well, DannyMcBride in Your Highness joins Jonah Hill in Superbad and Rob Corddryin Hot Tub Time Machine as characters whose company I disliked soresoundingly that I didn't want to spend time with them. To be fair,there were others in the cinema who laughed at what I didn't.Zooey Deschanel was wasted.Natalie Portman's rear end was cute.James Franco affected some weird sibilant speech impediment for reasonswhich escaped me.This should have been much better and the fact that it wasn't can onlybe attributed to McBride, whose idea of comedy (in terms of writing andperforming) clearly doesn't coincide with mine.

I'm bummed. I am a fan of gross out humour and did not think thismovie's humour was crude or rude, it just wasn't that funny. The filmsuffered most from poor direction, lousy editing, mediocre writing anda surprisingly poor performance from Franco. At some point, thedirector should have stepped in and told him to stop smiling so muchand remember to act. It felt like the cast had a really good timemaking this film, perhaps so much that they forgot about the audience.On the plus side, the opening credits were good. You could probablystop after that and not miss much. There were a few funny parts andjokes, but they aren't worth the wait. I really am sorry to pan thismovie, but I have to.

frankly this movie has all the down sides it can get. It's stupid,annoying, idiotic it's straight down retarded. I watched only 30minutes of this movie and I couldn't take it no more, it literallymakes you wanna jump off a cliff. I don't understand why some say it was funny. Maybe they confuse beingstupid, made in W a n k e r s V i l l e, with being funny. I'm known asa funny guy and I've didn't laughed a bit, 'cause it resumes to justplain old stupidity. It's just a dumb movie, that doesn't bring anything original. Thiskinda so called jokes, which in fact are nothing but retarded linesspoken in a manner that supposed to be funny, are the main core of 80%of the so called funny American movies, also known as American comediesthat mostly are just stupid and retarded.Sorry for using stupid and retarded so many times, but these termsdescribe the movie so well I couldn't think at another.

This movie highly exceded my expectations. It was highly original and highly entertaining. I highly recommend it. If you like Pineapple Express, East Bound and Down and Lord of the Rings you will love this movie. At least that is the case for me. Your Highness takes beautiful scenery (and people) and adds comedy up to par with Eastbound and Pineapple Express. I don't like raunchy humor, which seems to be a complaint about the movie, and to me a lot of the comedy isn't raunchy. I don't consider smart raunchy to be raunchy. Having Danny McBride SPOILER cut off a minotaurs penis and wear it as a trophy only to be almost sucked on by James Francos future bride cause a horny spell was casted on her is funny!(You don't know where that's been!) Reading it might sound raunchy but on screen it's genius and hilarious. (Eastbound and Down is more "raunchy" than Your Highness)Another reason why this movie is good is because it's one of the very few fantasy comedies that exist. It doesn't make fun of the fantasy genre, it uses it. Your Highness sets up a magical world that is a legit fantasy movie even if it wasn't a comedy. It just so happens to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.This also seems like the type of movie that will get funnier and funnier after every viewing. --Spoiler-- I just hope there is a second one, I must know if the chastity belt gets removed!!!Thanks to the creators of this movie, the actors in it, and anyone who helped in it's creation. To me it's one of greatest and most original movies I've ever seen.

"No, no, don't suck that! That's dead!"A crude, silly and occasionally hilarious homage to the sword andsorcery movies of the 80's. You've got your beautiful damsels indistress, hideous monsters, evil wizards, magical swords and dashingprinces, all given a vulgar spin courtesy of Danny McBride's sense ofhumor. How well your own syncs up with his will largely decide whetheryou like Your Highness. I thought the movie could have been funnier, but it never dragged orbecame boring, and the missed jokes were usually followed in shortorder by one that made me laugh-out-loud. There's tons of bare breastsand endless penis jokes (and actual penises), so if that kind of stuffisn't up your alley, don't even bother. But if you like the idea of agreat cast including Natalie Portman, James Franco, Zooey Deschanel,and the previously mentioned McBride traipsing about in medievalvillages, castles and forests having a foul-mouthed and very bloodyadventure, I suggest you give Your Highness a viewing.Â

First off, this film has a lot of aspects as far as creatures and magicthat I've never seen before in a film. I can't really go into detailabout it, but an example would be the 5 headed snake in the trailer.Sure we've seen snakes with many heads in plenty of films, but how thiscreature is created and what happens when it gets injured is incredibleand completely unheard of. Also the main plot of what the antagonist,Leezar, is trying to accomplish is incredibly creative. I can't go intodetail about his plot because it would be a massive spoiler since it'snot in any of the trailers, but it is the most creative diabolical planthat I've heard of in quite some time. There are plenty of others thatI'd love to talk about, but I don't wanna spoil it for anyone.Secondly, there is a vast variety of different kinds of visual effectsin this movie. Granted, most of it is CGI, but there is a Minotaurthat's shown in the trailer that's basically a guy in a suit, and evena puppet! I was amazed that we finally get a film in a time whenEVERYTHING is CGI that we actually get practical effects, puppetry, andcostumes. I would be shocked if this film doesn't get remembered by atleast regular movie going audiences for some of the best visual effectsof 2011. So far, it definitely has the best by a long shot.Third, this movie is absolutely hilarious! In all honesty, this is thefunniest film that I've personally seen since Ben Stiller's amazingHollywood parody, Tropic Thunder. The thing is that I would not comparethis film to Tropic Thunder because it is not a parody. If anything,I'd compare this to Zombieland. It's a hilarious film that is not aparody of a specific genre. Your Highness is not a parody of the epicquest film. Instead, it is an epic quest film with a lot of humorthrown into the mix. In fact, the best thing about this film is howexcellent it is as an epic quest film instead of how hilarious it is.Nonetheless, the comedy in this film is genius and the film is gutbusting hilarity. Sadly, some of the funniest lines were given away insome of the trailers, but the funniest scenes in the film weren't givenaway at all. In particular there's one with a Minotaur that had me institches.The chemistry between these main characters is definitely intact. DannyMcBride and James Franco are completely believable as brothers in thefilm despite the obvious fact that they don't look alike at all.Natalie Portman and Danny McBride also have very good chemistry as thetwo lovebirds of the film. James Franco and Zooey Deschanel's chemistryseems very forced but thankfully the film makes it clear that it'ssupposed to feel that way, so that's not a problem.Danny McBride does a great job in leading this film. He never comesacross as annoying like he does in some of his other films. He does areally excellent job in the lead and he also supports the film withsome really big laughs.James Franco is also great in the movie. Sure, he doesn't go over thetop hilarious like he did in David Gordon Green's previous film,Pineapple Express, but he doesn't need to be. Everyone else supportsthe film with the hilarity that it needs, so even though he could'vebeen funnier, he didn't need to be much funnier than he already was.Natalie Portman is very funny in the movie surprisingly. I sort ofexpected her to just be the eye candy of the film. In some moments, shedefinitely is that, but she also has quite a lot of funny lines. Also,there is one action scene with her that kind of gives Hit Girl a runfor her money. She can be pretty epic during the action sequences.Justin Theroux is a hilarious antagonist for the film. He supplies thismovie with some very funny lines and some of the most memorable scenesin the movie. I just knew that not a lot of people were gonna talkabout him when the film comes out, so I wanna stress this. He's comedygold in this film. This is sort of expected since he also wrote thescreenplay for Tropic Thunder.Zooey Deschanel is very funny in the few scenes that she's in. Somepeople may say that she was underused in the film, but she has just theright amount of screen time for me. She does exactly what you want outof her character and she does it extremely well.David Gordon Green does an excellent job behind the camera for thisfilm. It's very well shot, directed, and paced. He knows exactly whathe's doing especially for an incredibly gory film like this. In allhonesty, this is one of the goriest films that I've seen in quite sometime. The director also shoves the gore in your face. In fact, onedeath in the movie actually felt 3D by how the gore just flew righttoward the camera. It's kind of shocking that this had more 3D than TheLast Airbender when this wasn't even IN 3D.And lastly, the end of this film is very satisfying. It's very funny,it's well shot, it's an ending that left a smile on my face, and it'sthe perfect conclusion for this epic film. Sure I may have wanted moreafter the film ended, but that's a sign that the movie was so good thatyou wanted more. Thankfully, the film sets up for a sequel and I'm morethan happy if they decide to make one.I give Your Highness a 10/10

This is the first James Franco movie I've watched, and to be quitefrankly he is a terrible actor. And, yes, it's his fault that this movie box office sucks, this guydoes nothing more than saying it was not is fault, just like in theOscars. Grow up!!!! I've no idea why he is a Oscar nominee, because based on this movieperformance he deserves a razzie, at best.Other thing I don't understand, what is Natalie Portman doing in thismovie? She is one of the most talented actress nowadays, why did nobody tellher this movie sucks and stopped her from being in it?

This review is from: Your Highness [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) This was one of the most unfunny movies of the year. I bought the movie because of Natalie Portman and James Franco and because I also love spoofs on the whole genre like Mel Brooks "Robin Hood, Men in Tights." But this movie is just bad, boring, gross and unfunny.
independent-girl-d 08 May 2012
It was such an inappropriate movie for kids, its all about sex , andnothing funny at all ! It should be 18+ and for people who see "funny"from a different kind of view ! it should be Sexual Comedy ! such astupid disgusting movie ! I don't understand how could such successfulactors , who have acted in good movies accept to act in this movie ! Iwatched the beginning of the movie with my mom and we closed it after10 minutes ! I have watched movies that have some inappropriate scenes, but it was for like 10 seconds not the freaking whole 90 minutes !like OMG don't you get sick from watching these scenes ?!! (althoughsome of you don't) but i really think you should prevent your kids fromwatching it ..

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.
08 May 2012
This was the stupidest film I have ever had to watch. I forced a slight grin to appear. Not for kids or for human consumption. Natalie what the heck? 'Year One' pulled the gag film better than this film could.Had I invested money into the making of this film I would be pissed off. If Amazon allowed negative 20 stars I would gladly give it that, just for some of the effects.
06 May 2012
It is entertaining for a b movie, however towards the end a guardian evil bull was in the movie with a two foot full shaped penis, if that wasn't bad enough then the guy cut it off and wore it as a necklace for the rest of the movie. IF you can swallow that you may be mildly entertained.
05 May 2012
This review is from: Your Highness [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) This is a great movie to have in your collection, just read the notes and reviews about how raunchy it is and it will likely exceed your expectations. It takes a lot to shock me and this movie did just that all the way throughout.As far as the price, I'm going to have to re-evaluate pre-ordering from Amazon. Picked up the BestBuy Sunday flyer and the same blue-ray with digital copy was on sale for $10 less!
