Product Description
Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world-Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed. Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux)... Special Features: Alternate Scenes Deleted Scenes Extended Scenes, Gag Reel, Damn You Gods: Making Of, Line-O-Rama, Perverted Visions, ,A Vision of Leezar, Audio Commentary

All Righty!
Where to start ... Honestly I agree with a lot of the bad feedback although this is an amazing film. A lot of people are saying the film sucks because of the crude comedy and sexual banter. It is super super funny and although some people may not enjoy I don't believe that it is just a mans film. I saw this film in the cinema when it first came out and all my mates loved it ( boys & Girls).
I think if you like anything like American Pie or in general crude comedy then this is a great buy! The Blu-Ray transfer is also very good!

How ... why ... who ... what...?
What just happened there?
Why am I laughing?
What, in the vernacular, the (...ahem) "heavens" was that?
Your Highness is wrong on so many levels. It ought to be a disaster. For reasons I can't fathom, it isn't. It is absurd, gratuitous, vulgar, childish, stupid and utterly incongruous. And I thought it was great.
Natalie Portman playing against Danny McBride: what kind of fevered imagination comes up with that sort of an idea? What sort of miracle worker makes it actually happen? What sort of genius makes it work?
And that's just the start: There are jarring conflicts everywhere you look. Animal husbandry: You may cross a horse with a donkey and get a mule, but some hybrids just don't go: You don't play a Black Swan against Kenny Powers. You don't cross The Princess Bride with Animal House. If you do, you sure as hell don't throw in Bad Taste for good measure. You don't blow millions on Industrial Light & Magic style digital effects one moment and then fill the screen with a cheap rubber alien wizard (a dope-smoking, kiddie-fiddling alien wizard at that) that looks like it came from a joke shop the next. You can't rely on non-expectant swearing and expect to get away with it. At least, not fifty times. But all in all, it seems to work.... Read more ›

Hi,
Having watched this film twice in as many weeks i am compelled to fork out for the extended blu-ray version of this film. The way Danny McBride and James Franco interract is brilliant. If youre looking for a politically correct swashbuckling fantasy suitable for kids, this aint it. But if you want an irreverant mediavel romp with lots of toilet humour and foul language this is the movie for you.
Get the beers in and a curry, stick this movie in the dvd player and enjoy...

Hawk the Slayer. Krull. Dragonslayer. The Beastmaster. To name but a few. Fantasy films from a few decades back. All are not the greatest or the most expensive movies ever made. And none are anywhere close to being classics of their genre.
But some people have a lot of affection for them anyhow.
What the makers of your Highness tried to do was to produce a fantasy film in the same style. One that would be both a homage and a pastiche, and also a comedy. The latter arising from character interaction over the course of it.
A slightly irreverent opening narration sets the tone. Introducing us to Prince Thadeous. A foul mouthed lady loving weed smoking man, he is a long way from being a noble prince and a great warrior.
Unlike his brother Fabious. Who has just returned from his latest successful quest with the woman of his dreams. Whom he has rescued from an evil sorcerer.
But when the sorcerer turns out not to have been defeated, Fabious must embark on a new quest. To save his love. And the world.
And he must take his brother along.
Treachery and danger await. With only the aid of a mysterious lady warrior, can the brothers save the day?
This dvd is the EXTENDED edition. The LONGER, HARDER version.
How did you react to that fact?
Let's try the:
YOUR HIGHNESS HUMOUR TEST:
1; Bwah hah hah hah haha hah haha hah! [etc]
2; Ho ho.
3: groan.
4: [sound of tumbleweed blowing across prairie]
[The differences between this and the cinema version are minimal changes to various scenes that make no great difference. There's an article about it on IMDB. Should you care].
If you answered 1, then you will love this film.... Read more ›

Hilarious!
I loved the cheesy lines and the campy acting.
Even the rudeness, (which was on the extreme level), was forgiveable.
Very good entertainment!

A great family romp! The character of Chaucer is an irreverent revelation. A feel good story of attempting to better oneself with good friends and a love interest. Read more

Terribly fantastic
Ridiculous plot. Crude, rude, stupid and terrible accents.
I love it! Absolutely hilarious film.
You'd have to be missing your funny bone to not find this funny.
