Review of Your Highness (2011) by Tee B — 09 Jan 2012

Danny McBride and friends pretend they are knights on a quest to rescue a fair maiden taken by a wizard.

I received two movies from Netflix on Saturday. "Your Highness" and "The Tree of Life". Since it was Saturday (the national day of leisure) and "Tree" is an impossible 2 hours and 18 minutes long, I decided to go with it. Immediately, I began to dread movie night. For those of you that are not familiar with "The Tree of Life", it is one of those artsy flicks that artsy people pretend they understand and are bound by law (the same law that states they must always wear dirty clothes) to say they absolutely loved and changed their lives and blah blah blah. For the rest of Saturday, I had thoughts like this: "What a nice day for a January in northern Indiana. I would really like to enjoy this day, but I can't because I know how badly "Tree of Life" is going to piss me off later tonight." Or, later at Mexicana Locanos: "This Fajitas Jalisco is fantastic...I sure wish I could enjoy it because I cannot because I know how pissed off I'm going to be in about an hour because of "Tree of Life". A lather. I actually worked myself into a lather. When I got home, I was so lathered up that I just couldn't do it. The weather and jalisco and the beer was just too good to ruin with an artsy turd of a film. So, I called an audible and went with "Your Highness". It didn't tick me off nearly as much as "Tree of Life" surely will. Maybe I'll "Tree" tonight. It's Monday. Everyone is pissed off.
