The MovieSite — Your Highness

Your Highness

Best Quest Ever.

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. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancee before their kingdom is destroyed. The film had a very short cinematic run in the US.

Box Office (USA)Petet Hammond If scatological humor, endless dick jokes and profanity are all required for a comedy to work these days then Your Highness could be a smash hit. Unfortunately, the film itself has to be funny and Highness (Get it? Druggies?) is so thuddingly awful you won't crack a smile.

Rolling Stone (US)Peter Travers Nothing works. Nothing.

RottenTomatoes.comTomatometer Big budgets and costumes in service of scatalogical jokes may seem funny on paper, but in execution this is a highly monotonous romp that registers only occasional laughs.
