I think Your Highness is a little gem of a film. It has the classic Apatow humor, i.e as crude as can be and is a really decent adventure film with a cool story, impressive special effects and some imaginative ideas.

I usually agree with the critical consensus, but this movie was hilarious to me (I also thought Source Code was a horribly uninspired film a la Inception). A lot of it is low brow humor, but I enjoy that sometimes. The actors delivery wasI usually agree with the critical consensus, but this movie was hilarious to me (I also thought Source Code was a horribly uninspired film a la Inception). A lot of it is low brow humor, but I enjoy that sometimes. The actors delivery was all great, the main downfall was the writing. At times it was as if some scenes were supposed to be fairly serious, which doesn't really work when the rest of the film is comedic scenes. Expect a lot of dick jokes.… Expand

Okay, I don't care what anyone says so Im just going to say it. This movie is hilarious! It seems like many of the people who hate this movie often insult the people who would like this movie more than the movie itself.

It seems like many of the people who hate this movie often insult the people who would like this movie more than the movie itself. Which says to me that the people who don't like it simply couldn't "get it" therefore would like to rip on the viewers to make them feel more intelligent. Is the movie stupid? Absolutely. Does it have a great plot with characters you can relate to? Absolutely not... sort of. I would give this movie an 8 but I feel like it deserves much more credit than the "critics" are giving it. Every actor in the movie was perfect for the roll and I laughed the whole way through. The directing was excellent and the story was VERY easy to follow. The effects, outfits, and sets were all... dare I say... spectacular. Certainly not the best movie but certainly not the worst or subpar.… Expand

Simply the funniest movie I've seen in years! I assume most of the negative ratings come from the fact that it's quite crude, but if you find dick-jokes funny then you'll find this movie hilarious.

So the film is basically Pineapple Express set in Medieval times with less weed, but just as many penis jokes. Don't get me wrong, I love the this humor, I though Pineapple Express was brilliant, which made me even more excited to see this movie. I can't say I was disappointed, I set very high expectations for this movie and they were definitely met, it made me laugh and I was thoroughly entertained. But there were some moments I wish didn't happen or where toned down a bit, I won't say what they were because they may be a bit of a spoiler but I will say it involved a penis. All in all I enjoyed this film a lot, but you must know this is not a film for everyone, if you enjoy smoking the leaf then you'll probably love this movie, but if you enjoy smart sophisticated comedy you may not like it as much. But I wouldn't mind seeing this again.… Expand

Stupid humor but funny none the less. A good movie to go see if your just looking for some laughs and an entertaining film. Plot wasn't too bad and the I found the movie to start slow but picked up as the characters quest began.

I usually stray away from comedy films, but as it was 4/20, I went to see this with a friend who 'highly' recommended it. It didn't disappoint. The writing was sharp, and the jokes ran the gambit from potty humor to stuff Dennis MillerI usually stray away from comedy films, but as it was 4/20, I went to see this with a friend who 'highly' recommended it. It didn't disappoint. The writing was sharp, and the jokes ran the gambit from potty humor to stuff Dennis Miller might not even get. The point is there was something there for everyone. We get to see lots of Natalie Portman (which is always a treat), the villain is awesome, plenty of fodder for the lifestyle nerd/geek/dork element to lap up (brought to you by G4 & other fine lifestyle peddlers), & good old fashioned writing, with characters that you kind of care about. If you're not a prude...swallow it....and go see this.… Expand

Don't let the negative commercial reviews put you off. This is a funny movie. It also has some interesting fantasy elements and the performances are fun. (The characters grow on you, or perhaps it's a fungus.)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just love this film. Well, first - you have to "play by the film rules", if you do, and accept, that it's not really real, or a graphic orgasm like new film's, i guess you can fall in love with this movie. For me, totally epic. I love it's arrogantly humor, it's adventuring environment, ... everything. Someone don't like it because of it's crap. YEAH! It is ... BUT that's what is going on ... it's crap, but it's seriously FUNNY piece of crap.… Expand

It's really funny and has great bravery in the jokes, and top notch production values and effects, and a pleasing aesthetic. Shame about the killjoys who don't get the joke. It's great fun from start to finish.

High points for originality, no movie is quite like "Your Highness". Most people (especially the "professional" critics) don't seem to get that everything bad about the movie was done on purpose for comedic effect. From the bad BritishHigh points for originality, no movie is quite like "Your Highness". Most people (especially the "professional" critics) don't seem to get that everything bad about the movie was done on purpose for comedic effect. From the bad British accents and bad acting to the bad writing and vulgarity, this was all part of the charm. Anyone with extensive movie watching experience should have picked up on this fact immediately, but I suppose critics aren't nearly as intelligent as they'd like us to believe. Or maybe they did pick up on it and were offended by it, because "Your Highness" doesn't just parody the medieval fantasy genre, it parodies all of cinema in a giant middle-finger to the industry, critics included. If you aren't self-aware enough to be able to laugh at yourself, I can see how this could get sand in your vagina.

In conclusion, my review is less a critique of the movie and more a critique of the critics who just didn't get it. "Your Highness" was one of those stupid on purpose movies that flew over the head of, well, stupid people. And if you couldn't see past the stupid that was so blatantly on the surface that it almost knocked you over the head with the brilliance underneath, then I'm sorry, but yeah, you're **** stupid.… Expand

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