Your Highness

Danny McBride wrote a script tailored to himself, invited some of his buddies from Pineapple Express along for the ride... and yet again, it for the most part didn't turn out well. Though I wasn't suffering too much this time, the humor aims solely at sexual innuendos, which can get boring relatively quickly on a hundred-minute running time. And that simplicity is a terrible shame, because the cinematography is actually well done, Steve Jablonsky nails it as usual, and Natalie Portman effortlessly steals every scene. A forgiving 50% and an unnecessary disappointment. (2011-06-22)

This is such a terrible nonsense that it's not even nice, there are absolutely idiotic characters here, it's unbelievable, there are gags here that are really stupid, but I can't help it, when I saw this in the cinema, I had an incredible time. I literally laughed my head off during some scenes. It was probably just what I needed at that moment. And it suited me perfectly. (2014-04-05)

Although I prefer slightly more sophisticated humor, I do appreciate an occasional stoner comedy, too. I had high expectations of Danny McBride. He often makes me laugh out loud, only this time it just didn't work out. I guess I was too hyped up and I was expecting it to be even more hilarious. Despite not living up to my expectations, I did have fun, so a 3+. (2020-08-10)

Your Highness is the creepy equivalent of any American fantasy, with derivatives of the word "fuck" appearing as if on a treadmill. The plot is prosaic and all the peripeteia around it are more or less old familiar clichés in a slightly different guise. The cast is likeable, Steve Jablonsky's music is great as always and the running time is optimal. I was most impressed by the Marteetee monster and the unconventionally conceived labyrinth with the minotaur. The film tries to be different compared to its genre contemporaries, which it succeeds in certain places, but falls short in others. (2011-06-21)

A fairytale crossed with a toker’s comedy with the bombastic background music by Jablonsky and the amazing, breathtaking, gorgeous and wonderful Natalie Portman that has the perfect pace (the story, not Natalie) and presents us things that you would have never imagined. Or maybe you could imagine it, but you wouldn’t believe that someone could have the balls to put things like that into a movie that only a dumb and irresponsible parent would take their seven-year-old to see. P.S.: Franco’s singing is awfully out of tune. (2011-07-31)
