Your Highness by Universal Studios

Maybe it's a touch of nostalgia, but for some reason this was much better for me just now in the Spring of 2023 than it was when I first watched it back in 2011. Really liked the whole thing and the pacing was pretty good, considering that usually I get bored quickly with pretty much almost everything that I see lately coming out of Suckywood, since there is so little creativity anymore and everything has been done and done, over and over again. This was a fun one to just check ones brain into, and the rest of the world out of, if only for a little while. Recommended! 4 solid stars.

Extremely raunchy at times but not offensive to this women's libber! Some may say "sophomoric" humor but I'm pushing 70 and had more laugh out loud moments than I've had from a movie in a long time. Not for the kiddies unless you want them to pick up some basic profanity for everyday use. I highly recommend this!!

This one is very funny, particularly if you've seen the movies it's spoofing. Considering how many A List actors are in it, they must have done it because they thought it would be fun to do.

i been confused. The movie itself is ok. It's not good or bad its just a movie. For a comedy most of the laughs are medium. Nothing really funny but many that are chuckly. I would say watch it when you cant find anything else because this amazin site is mostly miss and hit.

Your Highness is a movie that seemed like a surefire hit. It was from the same filmmaking team that brought us  Pineapple Express , a stoner comedy that grossed over $100 million on a $25 million budget. Your Highness also has a great cast of actors who have proven to be quite funny, and the story is R-rated and raunchy, the exact kind of comedy that has been extremely successful in recent years ( Wedding Crashers , Superbad  and  The Hangover  just to name a few). However, EVERYONE seems to hate this film and write it off before ever giving it a chance. Why?The main problem is that it was marketed totally wrong. All the trailers (red-band or otherwise) advertised it as a stoner comedy with some fantasy elements, while plastering Natalie Portman all over the posters and TV spots because of her recent award-winning performance in  Black Swan . Naturally, most people (myself included) were expecting something completely different than what they got.In reality, Your Highness is a brilliantly self-aware fantasy-action flick that plays like a big budget sword & sorcery epic, just with some R-rated humor thrown in. And guess what? It totally works! Not only does it work, it actually makes the film feel fresh and original because of it. It sends up the genre's clichés with such style and glee that you can't help but enjoy it. I keep seeing reviews criticizing parts of the film that are supposed to be deliberately cheesy, and I just don't get it (James Franco's "beautiful" singing voice had me in stitches). The film goes for broke, fully aware of its ridiculousness, and I think this tongue-in-cheek nature makes it even more appealing.As a fantasy epic, it can hold its own. The gorgeous scenery matches the beauty and lushness of the  Lord of the Rings  movies, while the elaborate costumes and intricate props further enhance the mythical world and convey a sense of realism. The film's action scenes and stunts are equally impressive, which is hard to do these days in the age of overused CGI. There's a carriage chase in the middle of the film that is a spectacular showcase of kinetic, exciting action and wild stuntwork, all done with practical effects; it looks amazing. Special effects-wise, there is some CGI but it's used sparingly, save for one brutally awesome monster fight, and it still looks good. I was also pleasantly shocked by the amount of bloody violence in the film. It gets pretty gory at times, and I commend this. Most fantasy films skimp on the blood and gore, usually because of their ratings or target audience, so to see a fantasy film that takes advantage of its R rating is quite refreshing.The entire cast does a damn fine job. Danny McBride's biting sarcasm coupled with James Franco's pompous yet charming personality make for a hilarious combination, while Justin Theroux delightfully hams it up as an evil (and highly quotable) sorcerer. Natalie Portman plays her role with intensity and delivers most of her silly dialogue seriously, making it all the funnier. The supporting cast is stellar, with humorous straight-faced turns from Damian Lewis, Toby Jones and the always reliable Charles Dance. Zooey Deschanel isn't given much to do as the damsel in distress but she tries admirably and the relatively unknown Rasmus Hardiker steals a few scenes as McBride's manservant.Special mention must go to Steve Jablonsky's outstanding score: it's big, it's loud and it's awesome. Jablonsky perfectly captures the unique sounds of the fantasy film scores of the 80's, while injecting his trademark orchestral stylings. For me, it's this score that really elevates the film from great to excellent. Even better, the score is a great listen by itself. I've been listening to the soundtrack CD a lot recently and it delivers an invigorating experience.This film is not perfect, with most of its faults stemming from its humor. Some of the jokes fall flat at times, but this is common in most, if not all comedies (except  Ghostbusters . If you don't like that movie, something's wrong with you). The film also overuses a few of its gags, but it's nothing too annoying. The film is still very funny though, and the good far outweighs the bad. I really can't think of anything else to complain about that isn't nitpicking.So all in all, Your Highness functions as both a raunchy comedy and an energetic fantasy adventure that isn't for everyone, but worth look if you like R-rated comedies and/or fantasy flicks.

No one else can pull off a hilarious, lovable. ignorant, sensitive, narcissist.

Your Highness is more D&D than the current D&D movie and more Epic than Disney's Willow Series and Amazons Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time Debacles

You know what you need to do to enjoy this movie.

Absolutely hilarious, where’s the sequel? As Prince Fabious charismatic James Franco who starred in 127 Hours, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Pineapple Express, Spider-Man, The Interview to name a few along with Prince Thadeous, Danny McBride from Sausage Party, This is the End and Tropic Thunder team up once more to save their kingdom and Francos’ virgin fiancée Zooey Deschanel from the evil wizard Justin Theroux. Take the trip into mythical madness as the Princes speak with wise wizards and mysterious maidens.Enjoy!Respectfully,Very Satisfied Repeat Australian Customer

Your Highness is a tale of knights & a fair maiden.The King has two sons, one a hero & one a waster.After the hero princes bride to be is kidnapped by an evil magician mthe two brothers head off on a quest to find the Unicorn sword that is the only thing that will kill him.Very funny but if you do not like bad language then avoid this.

Thank you for the delivery Amazon !Not a bad comedy .. surely not the best comedy of the year as the cover of the movie says :)The movie have it's momentsNatalie Portman is AMAZING even in a movie like this one.The BD contains 2 versions of the movie.

The storyline is a simple action adveneture comedy. When Prince Fabious's bride is kidnapped, he goes on a quest to rescue her... accompanied by his lazy useless brother Thadeous Overall there is plenty of entertainment, laugh out loud moments and with some impressive special effects and action to keep you watching. I recommend this film if you are fans of Danny McBride and James Franco. Well worth watching.

First saw this at the cinema years ago, still funny.
