Your Highness

The tale of two princes, Fabious and Thadeous, one dashing and brave, the other… Thadeous. When Fabious’ fiancée is taken by an evil wizard, the brother’s must work together to rescue her.

Admittedly, Your Highness has not done well with the critics, be they professional critics or internet nut jobs. Seriously, what kind of idiot writes random film reviews for no money that almost no one will ever read? Freaks.

It is almost universally agreed that Your Highness is a bad film. And in truth, it’s pretty easy to see why. It’s stupid, pointless and predictable, the humour is incredibly crude and a lot of the jokes are given away in the trailer.

If you’re easily offended, this will offend you. If you watch offensive comedy all the time, this may well bore you. It’s difficult to see who the target audience really was.

But, in the words of Thadeous himself, “Fuck that.”

I found it hilarious.

True, they did milk the sex jokes and the word “fuck”, but it still managed to be incredibly easy to watch, with a lot of likable characters who all had clear, understandable motives.

And a lot of very funny moments.

Just try to remember not to take it seriously.
