Your Highness Reviews
Your Highness never sacrifices its cheerful, one-thing-after-another absurdity, or its inability to take itself even remotely seriously.

In theory, I suppose it would be funny-and incongruous-if in the middle of a serious costume drama a noble action hero uttered a four-letter word. Hearing Danny McBride do just that, repeatedly, in Your Highness not only isn't funny but grows wearisome...

Good fun.

At the same time, Green is far too talented a filmmaker for this picture to be quite this unrelentingly terrible, and for everyone involved I can't help but think this is a collective low none of them will soon live down.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 29, 2011
More penis-in-codpiece than tongue-in-cheek.

How the filmmakers managed to line up an A-list cast is baffling, because they've been handed the Lamest. Gags. Ever.

Dudes, we get it.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 15, 2011
[A] largely witless medieval farrago...
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2011
Danny McBride leads the cast in an immature broad comedy calculated to outrage those nose-wrinklers of a peevish and fastidious disposition.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2011
It's bad. It makes Mel Brooks's Robin Hood: Men in Tights look like a masterpiece.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 14, 2011
There's nakedness and campy gore galore. If you don't mind that plus ridiculously crude dialogue, this one's for you. For the rest of us it's disgusting, unfunny and distasteful.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 13, 2011
Pot comedies may not be rocket science but a few more script revisions would have probably gone a long way here.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 13, 2011
A medieval comedy that will only appeal to those with a taste for silly accents, anachronistic cursing and jokes about masturbation.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 13, 2011
There are too many missed opportunites and too many instances of glaring, easily-fixable problems left to creak and dangle in our faces.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 13, 2011
With McBride and Franco trying on knowingly bad Brit accents and the entire cast clearly having a whale of a time, the impression is of the world's daftest, priciest, least self-serious end-of-the-pier panto.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 13, 2011
Sword and sorcery movies often resemble parodies of themselves even when they are intended to be taken seriously. And then there are genre spoofs like Your Highness that are meant to be funny and leave you stone-faced.
| Original Score: D | Apr 11, 2011
Like a joint rolled with graph paper
Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Apr 11, 2011
A decent, affectionate, fitfully funny take on the fantasy genre, but this could have been so much more. For fans of this sort of comedy only.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 11, 2011
Monsters, sword-fights, boobs AND laughter? Giveth this a ruddy Bafta.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2011
This film looks like it was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch.
| Original Score: D+ | Apr 8, 2011
