YOUR HIGHNESS

YOUR HIGHNESS (think "high-ness")  With a pun like that in the title and an R rating for strong crude & sexual content, profanity, nudity, violence, & drug use, are you intrigued?  Would you rush to the theatre to see a movie that's been described by top critics as follows:

"Šnever met a problem it couldn't blast with an F-Bomb and pushes the one-note gag of mixing medieval language with locker-room dirty talk."

"Enjoyment hinges on your weakness for juvenilia."

"It's what you expect it to be, except it's not nearly as funny as you'd want it to be."

"Perhaps it was the sight of sweet, lovely Natalie Portman spewing such unadulterated filth that cracked me up."

"Unless I'm being tortured, I'll never see Your Highness againŠ"

"None of it is very funny, and most of it is pretty ugly - the last half-hour is a paroxysm of bad special effects, amputated limbs, and a severed sex organ."

"Basically, the script, from its title on down, feels like something sketched out on rollingpapers."

"The weirdest aspect of the film is seeing so many talented people in material that's beneath them."

General comments regard what has been called a stoner flick with a big budget and costumes in service of scatological jokes that may seem funny on paper, but, in execution in this highly monotonous romp registers only occasional laughs:  Would you still like to see it?  Don't waste your time or money.  I didn't.
