MOVIE REVIEW - Your Highness

The new stoner comedy Your Highness is in theaters this week.

I'm am not sure there are accurate words to fully describe this movie. Everyone likes a good silly, naughty, borderline raunchy flick from time to time. Hollywood makes them occasionally and if handled well, they can be guilty pleasure funny. That is not the case here. Your Highness is about as raunchy and vile as a rated R movie can be.

This is the flick you've seen advertised. A parody of mid-evil movies with plenty of knights, and ladies in distress to go around. You know going in, this is not award winning cinema, but most I think were jaw-dropped on how distasteful this really is. Many people got up and left the movie never to return.

There really is no reason to go into plot detail is there? After all, no one is going there for the actual story. This is a series of sight gags, terrible language and frankly disturbing 7th grade locker room humor. Clearly, this movie is targeting young 18 year old boys who have no regard for any kind of humor that is anywhere near palatable. Of course, that doesn't describe everyone, but there certainly must be a bunch out there, because these movies keep coming out. Granted not all this repugnant, but others certainly where the sex and drug use is envelope pushed to the extreme in every scene.

Troubling too is the cast here. Oscar winner Natalie Portman for one. It's decision time Nat. Be a good actress with worthwhile movies, or do this. Her Oscar for Black Swan seems so far away today after seeing this. Oscar nominee James Franco too. 127 Hours was a good flick in 2010. Again a distant memory today. The lovely Zooey Deschanel somehow was talked into this thing somehow by writer and star, Danny McBride. Who I have to say, this being his brainchild, looks completely perverted and shameless. I'm sure his mom is so proud today.

No one is so tight that there isn't room for a edgy, raunchy comedy with a bunch of goofs doing really dumb things if not questionable things . But this isn't that. This is just vile for vile's sake. And what this movie really does is make some really talented people, look really stupid. Not on screen, but in their decision making. It really is time to for some of these peeps to grow up, and understand that once it's on film, it's there forever.

Your Highness. Theres' tasteful, tasteless, and then there's this. Giggly locker room stuff, completely junior high.
