Sinopsis(1)
Thadeous (Danny McBride) se ha pasado la vida viendo cómo Fabious, su perfecto hermano mayor (James Franco), se ha embarcado en tremendas confrontaciones y se ha hecho con el corazón de su pueblo. Cansado de que la aventura, la admiración y el trono no llamen a su puerta, se ha resignado a una vida dedicada a fumar hierba de brujo, beber buen alcohol y seducir a doncellas desvergonzadas. Pero cuando Belladona (Zooey Deschanel), la prometida de Fabious, es secuestrada por el malvado brujo Leezar (Justin Theroux), el rey da un ultimátum a su hijo menor: si no mueve el trasero y la rescata, se acabaron los fondos. Nada convencido de su misión, Thadeous se une a Fabious en un peligroso viaje para liberar a la princesa. Les acompaña Isabel (Natalie Portman), una misteriosa guerrera con un peligroso objetivo. Los hermanos se enfrentarán a terribles criaturas y a caballeros carentes de honor antes de llegar a Belladona. Si Thadeous es capaz de sacar a la luz el héroe que lleva escondido en su interior, podrá ayudar a su hermano a impedir la destrucción del reino. Pero si le puede la holgazanería, no sólo será tachado de cobarde, también tendrá un asiento en primera fila para contemplar el amanecer de la Era de las Tinieblas. (Universal Pictures España)

El tráiler es bastante engañoso en este sentido, ya que la mayoría de los chistes son alusiones al sexo, la homosexualidad, la masturbación y los genitales. Los personajes secundarios son pervertidos. A veces es divertido, a veces embarazoso, definitivamente no es normal. Lo mismo puede decirse de toda la película.

I mean it when I say I’d rather see Seth Rogen as Prince Thade, but whatever. This is an unbelievable torrent of the most vulgar, cheap, and lowest form of humor that can flow out of the Hollywood cesspit, and so turning up our noses at the oppressive preachers of morality who don't find this funny is certainly appropriate. I was roaring with laughter from the very beginning, only to realize a third of the way through that the film has a well-constructed regular fantasy story, which works mainly thanks to the great set design and Jablonsky’s perfect music. I don't care whether the film is really that perfect or I just happened to be in the right mood for it, and I give it a full score without any reservations. [PS: Natalie’s bath is exactly the moment when a guy’s brain inevitably bleeds out because his heart is pumping in a completely different direction.

A fairytale crossed with a toker’s comedy with the bombastic background music by Jablonsky and the amazing, breathtaking, gorgeous and wonderful Natalie Portman that has the perfect pace (the story, not Natalie) and presents us things that you would have never imagined. Or maybe you could imagine it, but you wouldn’t believe that someone could have the balls to put things like that into a movie that only a dumb and irresponsible parent would take their seven-year-old to see. P.S.: Franco’s singing is awfully out of tune.

The main character of Your Highness = the slightly less dastardly Edmund Blackadder. The servant/companion of the main character = the slightly less stupid Baldrick, servant/companion of Edmund Blackadder. Do you think I was outraged by this "copying" of characters from my beloved Black Adder that I gave the film two stars? Wrong. It was simply the best Your Highness had to offer.____Three of the biggest pains: 1) That the characters compete throughout the film in the use (with a few exceptions) of first-rate profanity of all kinds did not add to my comedic satisfaction. The screenwriters have become unhealthily too attached to this idea and so, after some twenty minutes, instead of all this "as if inappropriate" use of the word “fuck" shocking the viewer and making him laugh, it instead annoys. 2) Cliché, cliché, cliché. The stupid story, which the screenwriters tried to mask with that one idea (see point 1), is incredibly unoriginal, although the attempt at parody is there. Sadly, it’s rare. 3) lazy direction, especially during the action scenes. Even the stuff that could rack up points for originality isn't original. Let alone entertaining. The opening with the execution is reminiscent of Pirates of the Caribbean, the scene with the Wild Wild West carriage, and the fight with the monster is reminiscent of any fight with a monster from TV's Xena. Unfortunately, everything is just a reminder - nothing revelatory happens. It’s simply boring. If the action scenes have any dynamics (the ending especially), they owe it only to Jablonsky's good (based on Zimmer's Pirates, but good) music.____The pros: Praise goes to the great Danny R. McBride, thanks to Zooey Deschanel, who played the naive, know-nothing princess very cutely, I was glad to see Damian Lewis again, although his role... Well... No point in writing about it. The aforementioned Steve Jablonsky was also a pleasure, but his soundtrack would have been much, much better if it had been played by a real big orchestra and not some electronically created imitation of him, whose sound really pulled at the ears in places. The film should be thankful for the two stars.

Danny McBride wrote a script tailored to himself, invited some of his buddies from Pineapple Express along for the ride... and yet again, it for the most part didn't turn out well. Though I wasn't suffering too much this time, the humor aims solely at sexual innuendos, which can get boring relatively quickly on a hundred-minute running time. And that simplicity is a terrible shame, because the cinematography is actually well done, Steve Jablonsky nails it as usual, and Natalie Portman effortlessly steals every scene. A forgiving 50% and an unnecessary disappointment.
