Review of Your Highness (2010) by Doctor S — 25 Sep 2012

Dumbfoundingly lazy medieval comedy-in-name-only. Imagine you're the producer knocking back some cold ones with pals Danny McBride and James Franco one night and one of you (you can't remember who) suggests you should all make a comedy with knights, maidens, and wizards. "Just like those Montgomery Pylon guys." Still laughing at the thought, you drunk-dial Natalie Portman as a crank call since James has her number, and to your still slightly cognizant surprise she agrees to be in the movie because as fate would have it she is also extremely smashed from attending her cousin's bar mitzvah. The next day, everything comes together magically - the ample funding, the studio machine ready to market the film on a wide scale, the lawyers who remind Natalie that a verbal agreement made while intoxicated is still an agreement. All that is going for you - and THIS pile of peasant poop is the best you can come up with??!?

Wow. Mel Brooks' lightweight Men In Tights is The Holy Grail by comparison.
