Your Highness 2011 ★★★★

Watched Apr 20, 2012

This film was panned by non-high critics who don't appreciate the brilliance of a fantasy film centered around a "fuckening" (which will induce the birth of a dragon!) and featuring lines like "First of all, you obviously don't know shit about the prophecy!" David Gordon Green is a great director - from his breakout indie film George Washington and the unforgettable drama Snow Angels to the bong-action comedy Pineapple Express and the irrepressible Eastbound & Down -- and I love his insane range. Your Highness is intentionally stupid in all the right ways, well directed and acted (Justin Theroux is unrecognizable and inspired), and clearly everyone had a blast making it. It is like The Princess Bride got molested by the original Clash of the Titans and Reign of Fire. So if that sounds like a good time to you, you'll give this 4 stars too. If not, then you should probably find your own damn unicorn sword.

  • Hmmm, girl ... I don't know what combination of intoxicants you were on to think this movie was good, but I may want to partake ASAP. I haven't seen it all the way through, but have seen enough to know this thing was a turd. Just saying "fuck" and "shit" in a medieval setting does not a funny comedy make. Danny McBride may have more of a limited range than Bruce Willis. Hey, you go with it, though. I'm not one to cast stones for liking a bad comedies (Broken Lizard, I'm looking in your direction!).
