Your Highness is a movie with only one joke and only one purpose. The joke: What if people in medieval times got high and talked like people talk in now times? The purpose: watching James Franco and Danny McBride do stuff. In short: FUCK MY YES-HOLE. McBride plays Thadeous (Kenny Powers in chain mail), lovable dumbass and bitter younger brother to the dashing Prince Fabious (James Franco, angel spawn). After Fabious’s virgin bride is kidnapped by a gross wizard, the brothers embark on a quest to see who can make the most dick jokes (oh, and rescue her, I guess). It’s fucking stupid, but I laughed and laughed. (See Movie Times: thestranger.com/film)

Theres about one good joke in it, thats for sure
Interesting that you liked this, Lindy. What’s your take on its complete panning by other critics?
This is obviously a stupid, stupid movie. The kind of movie that critics love to trash. But it is also the kind of movie that can be enjoyed for its stupidity in the right circumstances. A combination of the right friends, the right mood, an unhealthy adoration of James Franco, and a blunt.
I think that is all Lindy is saying. If you are expecting Shakespeare, you’d be sorely disappointed. If you are in the mood for a silly goofy movie, then this is it exactly.
That’s gotta be one helluva blunt. Sorry if I sound bitter but it was absolutely terrible
Burp and fart movies? Only if you’re from Idaho…stupid.
Yeah, I… no.
I love stupid movies, but this? I didn’t laugh once.
