Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
foutainoflife 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.
garyhbradley Up front, I admit my bias. The locations used in this film (and Game of Thrones) were my childhood playground. Now, I like a good laugh and a bit of toilet humour is OK by me, but this film was just awful. Danny McBride is a terrible actor and the script is cringeworthy at best: I just cannot believe James Franco, Natalie Portman and Toby Jones agreed to stoop so low, none of whom return good performances. I note that two of our local politicians got a jolly to Hollywood out of it. The film was touted as an economic success for northern Ireland but I am ashamed to think that something as bad as this has been associated with one the world's most beautiful locations. Northern Ireland film should be more diligent and ensure better scripts are brought to film than this disaster.
Phillip Lawler Unsung and un-discovered writers of fantasy films everywhere will be shaking their fists in the air ruing the fact that $48 million was spent on this pathetic pile of plop.The only positive way I can frame this is if I went back in time and showed it to my 14 year old self. In order to enjoy this film you have to engage with the playground gutter humour part of your brain. Filthy humour can be done well if crafted well. The writers of this film didn't go to that effort and it made me wonder how the $48 million was agreed to be spent on it by the producers. The quality of actors gathered for this film is quite impressive so the most impressive person to be part of this production must have been the casting agent. A lot of spin and porkies must have been fed to these fine actors to get them on board in the first place.I'm sure that when the filming was under way they rolled their eyes at the script and ached with embarrassment whilst they longed to move on to the next show. Natalie Portman's class shone through as best it could given what she had to work with. Danny McBride takes the bullet for being responsible for the majority of the crap gags and I will actively avoid any of his future films. I'm sure this film is loved somewhere in the world where there is a bong and a big bag of crisps. Probably in a teenage boy's bedroom and no-where else.
namashi_1 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.
