- 67Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovYour Highness is awfully vulgar fun when it works, which is much of the time (although it could've benefited from a few judicious cuts here and there).
- 60Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichThe belly laughs do come, many of them courtesy of the mechanical bird companion.
- 50Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreIt's meant to be faintly Pythonesque with a hint of bowdlerized "The Black Adder"...But it's entirely too slow of foot for that comparison to pay off.
- 40Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt's an ironclad rule for comedies: Stupid is fine, as long as it's funny. But if it's not? Well, then it's just . . . stupid.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsAn exhaustingly pushy, phallocentric and witlessly smutty spoof of early '80s medieval fantasies such as "Krull" and "The Beastmaster."
- 30Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonYour Highness plays like a dirty-joke blooper reel made by the cast of a junky sword-and-sorcery epic.
- 25Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezThe film will probably play a lot better in dorm rooms with plenty of beer kegs and bongs on hand, but in the confines of a movie theater, it's deadly - the sort of bad comedy Mel Brooks made late in his career, until he finally smartened up and quit.
- 10Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesUnwatchable-and, thanks to its high-decibel action sequences, barely listenable-this misbegotten medieval fantasy/stoner comedy marks a new low for David Gordon Green.
- 0The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThere is little worse in the movie world than a spoof that falls flat on its over-costumed butt, but that's what you get with Your Highness.
