What to Know

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.

Scott Foundas Film Comment Magazine Your Highness never sacrifices its cheerful, one-thing-after-another absurdity, or its inability to take itself even remotely seriously. Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Leonard Maltin indieWire In theory, I suppose it would be funny-and incongruous-if in the middle of a serious costume drama a noble action hero uttered a four-letter word. Hearing Danny McBride do just that, repeatedly, in Your Highness not only isn't funny but grows wearisome... Aug 12, 2011 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Good fun. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review More than just disappointing, this movie is painful and a chore to endure to the end. Rated: 1/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Does not derive a single insensible laugh. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2022 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Your Highness is a depressing, dated and desperately dull amalgam. Rated: 1/5 Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

David W A great cast, excellent special effects but a mediocre script. It certainly had it moments of very broad humour (I mean who doesn't enjoy a severed minataur knob joke) and I'm certainly not adverse to Natalie Portman in RPG outfits but it wasn't as consistently funny as it could have been. I can't help but think a bit more time developing the script and gags would have made this a real winner but it's still worth a watch though if you don't mind the swearing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Joel F It is truly remarkable to encounter a fantasy so devoid of imagination or a comedy so devoid of mirth. This film could be used to torment political prisoners but it would provoke an instant ruling from the ICJ. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Liam D Easily David Gordon Green (George Washington, Undertow) worst comedy despite a game Natalie Portman (Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, Mars Attacks!) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Dylan P One of my favorite movies. I love courtneys triangle face :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review peter S Awful. And with a cast of 100. What a waste. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Loman C absoloute perfection Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
