OK, I'm a big Danny McBride fan. Loved Eastbound and Down, Pineapple Express etc etc. But, this movie just wasn't funny. If funny is having people in the middle-ages say *beep* then I would have laughed my ass off, but it's not funny.
Big disappointment!
hey, if you don't like it, don't watch and don't complain, buddy!
shareYeah, how dare you come on to a movie discussion board and actually say you don't like a movie. How actually dare you. And to think he actually went a watched movie 'cos he liked some of the other things the makers did. The shame of it all.

I spend my time on things I like and enjoy, and don't waste anymore time than I have to dwelling on things I don't. People enjoy discussing things that they like, that they have an interest in. Why devote so much time on things you don't enjoy, talking about how much you dislike something? Is that time not better spent immersing yourself in the things you enjoy, rather than having such an empty life that you waste it on things you hate? Is it better to eat dirt then spend time talking about how much you hate the taste of dirt, to go online and complain about how bad the dirt tastes, or is it better to spend that time instead eating a steak? I'd rather surround myself and immerse myself in the things I enjoy than dwell on the things I dislike. Bad movies, I'd rather not dwell on it and instead move on to something I like. Put it out of my mind and instead do something I enjoy, than to waste anymore time on something I dislike.

If you like it, just shut up and go watch it.
shareThat's what he did. And once he was done, he told that guy to shove it.
LOL, this post if actually funnier than the film!

It could have been a great enjoyable adventure comedy if it weren´t for those cheap d*** und *beep* jokes. Really, where did the class go? Why not use humor like in the Monthy Python era without the need to be vulgar. It lost the chance of having class and being timeless. Stupid director, poor Natalie and the rest.
Movies are reflections of time, places and people.
The Monty Python sketches were nearly always racy. The song entitled "Every Sperm Is Sacred" shall be presented as case and point. The only reason they never used naughty words is because it was the 1970's in England. BTW "Your Highness" has many of the farcical plot points and musical numbers that Monty Python bravely pioneered.
Yes, but Monty Python were risque and clever... They didn't just chuck expletives and references to bodily functions about for the sake of it.
Born when she kissed me, died when she left me, lived whilst she loved me
Exactly! I love the Pythons and Your Highness is absolutely funny and silly - I mean, I really don't get it: Every year, one of these utter horrible "Movie-Movies" come out - and yes - these pieces of cr** are rated with 1 of 10 points... ("Meet the spartans" - WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!!)
And then they do a funny masterpiece like Your Highness and most people complain about it.
I usually don't like cheap sex-jokes, but come on... the wise wizard scene alone is so damn funny... BECAUSE it's about sex... and subtle hints about all that...
Man, a sequel to YH would be amazing!!!
"a funny masterpiece"? Don't get me wrong, I'm not highbrow - I like the old Monty Python movies (in general) plus modern movies like Superbad and The Hangover but I found Your Highness to be painfully unfunny. I don't think I laughed once during the entire ordeal.
shareI'm really surprised so many people didnt get this movie, oh well just ordered the blu ray in hopes of a sequel! :D

Your comment made no sense whatsoever. How would he know that he wouldn't like the film without watching it first?Unfortunately, I read this a lot. It's as if people don't understand that time is chronological. share
I didn't think it was funny either. I watched it so I have every right to complain.
shareif you don't like it, don't watch
Pull your head in. This site is for the discussion of films, and obviously some people will like a film and others will dislike it. It's not an exclusive clubhouse for fans of certain movies.
People often come to IMDb to gauge a film before committing to it. It's good to find negative feedback if the film deserves it.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.
I think you're supposed to be high while watching it. As it stands, I was sober when I watched it and chuckled a few times. Not as much as I was meant to, but a little. If Marijuana was legal, this movie would have been a major blockbuster.

I think you have a point, a lot of the 'jokes' had atrocious timing; something supposedly funny would happen and then 15 seconds later someone would swear.
I guess if your brain was time-impaired by smoke/drink then the timing would be spot-on.
Even if I was drunk or stoned I wouldn't find this trash funny. I gave it a shot in the faint hope that Danny McBride did some material that wasn't abysmal, I was sadly wrong.
Being high would probably make the unfunny parts stand out more, and feel a lot more dramatically disgusting.

Ha, perfect! I was watching this thinking "this is meant to be funny?" It was like a really bad student film (no offence to students) and can't believe that it was actually made. For the half-hour that I endured this film, I would have given my left eye for a joint to end the pain...and to forget all about it afterwards.

Yeah it was what a D&D movie should be (minus the gay jokes and McBride lol) I loved the wizard.
"Magic, *cracks neck* Muther *beep*
I usually hate McBride, and I still do, but he was funny in this.
It was just adventurous fun.
"If funny is having people in the middle-ages say *beep* then I would have laughed my ass off, but it's not funny."
That literally sums up the entire comedic routine of this movie. No exaggeration at all.

This movie was just not funny at all, not even in a stupid way. McBride shines doing redneck humor, but a period comedy with Shakespearean dialogue...waaaaaaaay too far of a stretch for him.
I love stoner flicks but I couldn't get past 15 minutes before turning this crap off. And WTF was Natalie Portman thinking when she decided to do this?!? Must have been smoking something a little stronger than weed.
but you only watched 15 mins so you didn't see Natalie portman in this film, So how can you judge her role.
Its ok if you dont like a film but basing your review of a 15 mins viewing is just moronic.
You just lost all credibility on this site.
This movie was about as funny as Hall Pass...which wasn't funny either. But Your Highness was garbage. I also like Danny McBride and I can't believe he wrote this crap. How it got greenlit I'll never know.
