Your Highness - How Many Dick Jokes Can We Fit in This Thing?

Your Highness

I don't want to suck it, you suck it

Netflix Link: movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Your_Highness/70125550

We picked this one up looking for a funny fantasy adventure, but got so much more than we expected. It's bad...  Really, really bad.  Don't get me wrong, we did enjoy it, but it's kind of like watching a train wreck.  You just want to see how it all works out.



While the director's idea of improvising most of the dialog may sound like a fun idea, what you end up with feels a lot more like an episode of Black Adder but not nearly as deep.

Most of the "comedy" boils down to a bunch of junior high level sex and penis jokes which makes it a little hard to get through at some points, but there are a couple of little laughs strewn haphazardly throughout
Most of the actors do a pretty good job but with the little they were given to work with, it's sometimes a bit hard to tell.

Overall, if you're willing to channel your inner 15-year-old male, you might find something to enjoy here.  If you can't, you'd be better off looking somewhere else.
