The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This was really funny at times. I enjoyed it. It is supposed to be pervertedly humorous and it really served well. If you are just looking for a few laughs check it out. If you are uptight and are looking for dramatic romance full of medieval sword fighting this probably will not suit your needs.

This movie makes fun of all the fantasy movies that take themselves too seriously. Not just medieval ones, but Star Wars and the like, too.But, it's not a spoof, nor is it a classic comedy, nor a time-travel story (someone from today going back to medieval times or vice-versa). It's a combination of elements from all those and deserves credit for trying something different.It's very silly by intent, so there's no sense in thinking about it's realism or the like. But, it has a mostly coherent story, interesting characters and is funny most of the time.Could have been more funny, relied less on foul language and genitalia related jokes and been even more silly. But, nobody's perfect.The greatest impression for me was Natalie Portman's character. It makes fun of all these unbelievable "strong/warrior women" you get a lot in movies lately, but doesn't over-do it. Even some seemingly ridiculous things, like when she grabs the Danny McBride's character, a larger and slightly over-weight guy, by his crotch and then easily throws him over her head without leverage, seem silly in this context, not forced or off-putting (as Uma Thurman's Kill Bill antics feel). Also, Natalie Portman was a great fit to play this character. In general, the casting is very good.It would be nice if more movies tried to do something different, like this one does, it's refreshing.

Watching the trailer made me think this movie would be a good choice to watch with my kids on a weekend evening. Which turned out was not the right conclusion. There are many explicit sex related scenes and language. I believe IMDb should add an extra warning for fantasy movies like this one - which are normally children-friendly - that it's not to be watched with children, even if it's a tale.It was okay for me, but my kids were the fist to mention the bad language and sexual connotations, which made me feel really uncomfortable. The movie would have been a cool one even without those moments, and the audience would have been a lot bigger. I would have given to it a higher vote in that case.

One expects 'Your Highness' to be a laugh-out-loud funny adventure, with a lot wit & humor. But, what it turns out to be, is strictly an okay fare that is funny in bits & pieces. 'Your Highness' Synopsis: When Prince Fabious's bride is kidnapped, he goes on a quest to rescue her... accompanied by his lazy useless brother Thadeous.'Your Highness' stands on an erratic screenplay. Danny McBride & Ben Best's Screenplay begins in the right tone, but surrenders to profanity & over-the-top sequences, to leave an impression. One is clearly missing cleaner humor & also good jokes. David Gordon Green's Direction is pretty good. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing also is well-done.Performance-Wise: Danny McBride is alright. James Franco delivers an earnest performance. Natalie Portman, however, steals the film with a terrific act. She's sexy & tough. Zooey Deschanel is cute, as always. Justin Theroux is ordinary. Toby Jones & Damian Lewis justify their parts.On the whole, 'Your Highness' misses the mark.
