Review of Your Highness (2010) by Bradley W — 02 Dec 2011

Your Highness has nothing good about it, other than its characters. The story follows Thadeus (Danny McBride), a prince who spends his days smoking weed, drinking, and getting laid, and his father the king has never been proud of him.

His brother Fabious (James Franco) is a hero and Thadeus has always been jealous of him, but the two still share a close bond. When Fabious announces hes engaged to Princess Belladonna (Zooey Deshanel), a evil wizard named Leezar (Justin Theroux) takes Belladonna, the king orders Thadeus to go on his first quest with Fabious, but hes not going to be much help.

The plot of Your Highnes is very boring, I know its a comedy but they try hard to nake this like a Monty Python film and they fail terribly, nothing happens in the story thats exciting. The cast is the best thing about the movie,Danny McBride is actually pretty good in my opinion, sure hes a dumbass but I think thats what they were going for and it worked for me.

James Franco was my favorite, he was cool, occasionaly funny, and so naive that it made him so fun to wqatch. Natalie Portman isn't going for great here, but she did good and wasn''t funny but still played a good role and gave the film a little break from the stupidity.

The specail effects were pathetic, every time one came on the screen I was just thinking how cheesy it was, and how they did it just for some viewers to think "woah." The action was better than you would expect, but still just okay.

The jokes were sometimes good, and some were just stupid and I rolled my eyes at how a horny 14 year old boy could've wrtitten this and some retards think its genius film making. Overall this was sometimes funny, but I think most people will be smart enough to realize how stupid this film is and how bad it was.
