Review of Your Highness (2011) by Stu T — 08 Mar 2012
David 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 blending of the humor into this so-called medieval flick.
Unsurprisingly, a bulk of the comedy is comprised of crude and vulgar sexual comments and/or motions. Sure, it is hard for all the jokes to misfire, so there are some giggles to be had; however, everything else becomes more of an annoyance than anything else.
The strong language also comes across as odd in this type of film.Danny McBride has one unpleasant character to watch, but with time he grows with the picture. James Franco, who proves to be more of a diverse actor, along with Natalie Portman, serve as good counteracts to McBride.
With some bloody violence to show for, Your Highness does have a few good minutes. Only a few.
