May 19, 2011if you like crude vulgar humor and Natalie Portman running around in medieval garb this is a five star movie.
It plays for the base humor and is vulgar and you will either howl out loud laugh or eye roll till the sheep come in.
I had fun it was 3 1/2 out of 5 for me. Again it w... read more -
April 29, 2012fb1672039553I don't know for who this movie was intended. It has a production style that harkens back to the 80s fantasy movies, a cast that people in their 20s and 30s would appreciate, and unclever dialogue aimed to please 14 year-old boys, or maybe that is an insult to 14 year-old boys.

I was a lot more than pleasantly surprised. I found Your Highness to be an absolutely hilarious parody of the medieval fantasy drama that benefited greatly from the chemistry shared between Danny McBride... read more -
April 2, 2012Well its not actually a shock that this is a poor movie, although you can get some ( maybe more accurately very little) happiness from this rather dull and uninspired comedy. Everything about this movie is just plain poor with quite high acting talents its a shock to see Portman ... read more

March 8, 2012David Gordon Green gets all medieval with Your Highness.
When all is said and done, Your Highness is all Danny McBride throwing it out there. There actually is enough story to fill the 100 minutes that this film has to offer, but the biggest setback is the blendi

January 15, 2012A strange comedy for adults that is part spoof, part panto with quite a good cast surprisingly. There is a fair bit of gore, swearing, rude references, fair bit of nudity and reasonable cgi for a film of this type. Overall though it's missing the main ingredient, being funny with... read more

January 7, 2012This is awful times awful. It's awful squared. McBride is his usual obnoxious self with a noxious faux British accent. Franco is stereotypically gallant. Deschanel is a dull damsel in distress.
However, NaPo's cold stares are deliciously patronizing, and Justin Theroux, as e... read more -
January 1, 2012Isabel: It is my legacy to stop anyone who wants to fuck to make dragons.
"Get your quest on."
Your Highness has not received much praise. In fact, it seems that just about everyone and their brother thinks this movie is terrible. I liked it, but I guess my immature mind can a... read more -

October 25, 2011fb732260458Who wouldn't find the concept of aristocratic medieval knights and kings swearing, smoking pot, and making raunchy, genitalia referencing jokes entertaining? Unfortunately, while the premise looks golden on paper - it's just mundane and tedious in execution. The proposed "comedy"... read more

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 leav... Full Review

This film looks like it was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
None of this is very funny, and most of it is pretty ugly - the last half-hour or so is a paroxysm of bad special effects, amputated limbs and a severed sexual organ. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Basically, the script, from the title on down, feels like something sketched out on rolling papers. Full Review

Lots of balls. Also lots of penis jokes. But too loud and obvious. Full Review

Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
While the chemistry between characters is impressive and the comic delivery spot-on, the jokes feel unoriginal. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The screenplay by Danny McBride is so hopeless, he didn't even write himself a good role, and he plays the lead. Full Review

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
[Green] has an easy touch when it comes to comedy, which means you can almost sense those moments when the actors give themselves over to the silliness. Full Review
