Critics Consensus

Big budgets and costumes in service of scatalogical jokes may seem funny on paper, but in execution this is a highly monotonous romp that registers only occasional laughs.

Your Highness never sacrifices its cheerful, one-thing-after-another absurdity, or its inability to take itself even remotely seriously.

At the same time, Green is far too talented a filmmaker for this picture to be quite this unrelentingly terrible, and for everyone involved I can't help but think this is a collective low none of them will soon live down.

Rated: 1/4

More than just disappointing, this movie is painful and a chore to endure to the end.

Your Highness is a depressing, dated and desperately dull amalgam.

Your Highness is an absolute masterpiece. It cannot be critiqued. Those who don't like it are full of crap.

The funniest movie I've seen in years, what are these stuffy critics talking about? It's one of the best fantasy films ever with great effects and a hilarious script delivered masterfully by McBride, Franco and the actor who played Courtney the slave, my favorite character. Natalie Portman reminds us that women aren't that funny and is caked in makeup, but even she can't ruin this classic, bawdy romp. Anyone who loves the stoner comedies of that era will love this!

So much worse than I remembered. What a complete waste of talent and money. Danny McBride is just the worst actor, can only do one thing: act like a dick and be angry all the time in every damn thing he is in.
