Goooootta agree with Roger Ebert on this one. This movie is the anti-thesis of funny. Lost a little respect for you on this one lol
Too new to be forgotten.. but what Franco has done won't the sicko..
This is just great dumb funny movie
'We didn't try to craft any jokes'
*Mission successful*
😂🤣😂😭😭😭
Mission failed succesfully xD
"Playful secrets"
I fking say this all the time, I love this stupid fking movie.
I actually unironically enjoy the movie. Could be better but has quotable lines and Courtney is a riot.
Has pretty good fantasy action sequences as well
It's a decent movie.
The sets and costumes were better than most modern fantasy projects, and the story itself flowed well: it just had the misfortune to come out at a time where hating everything was edgy and cool, and actors shitting on their own creations doubly so.
This is an underrated movie, watched it a few times now
One of the few modern films I know that I would consider a genuine cult classic, although said cult is not big.
it's weird to remember a time when comedies got a big budget and a wide theatrical release. Streaming services really changed everything. I feel bad for people my age who pursued acting or directing, because the movie industry drastically shifted right after we graduated high school.
There used to be one comedy ery summer you knew you'd be in the theater for, miss those days. I also miss good comedy
Those poor people will have to regular jobs like everyone else, truly a pity.
@@notsocrates9529 You're projecting some kind of personal bitterness here. 98% of aspiring actors, writers, or industry workers already have to support themselves with a day job.
Now they're pursuing a dream to get a foothold in an industry that churns through people's art and hard work as "content", while spitting in their eye by also paying as little as possible. You can mock that if you want, but any media you enjoy was made by someone who started in that same position.
@@Luschan Don't care, won't read.
@@notsocrates9529 Damn, this dude is a fuckin badass
"Your Highness could be about a knight who gets stoned" may be the least creative answer he could have possibly given
The term 'The Fuckening' from this film just absolutely laid me out and I couldn't recover. We had to go grab food and come back I was so endered useless. I didn't see the biggest laugh via the Aptow-verse coming from this movie for me.
Oh, and Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman was a freakin' GD smoke show in this.
my dad is one of those people who for a time would impulse buy dvds on amazon...and never watch them. To this day no one in our house can explain why he bought this movie. Nobody's ever opened it.
honestly amazon does a lot of dvd//blu ray deals constantly so he probably couldnt help but pick it up when it was cheap
Gawd, I'm such a dad. I have unopened DVDs.
It's hilarious
😂
I can relate. I have a bunch of DVDs and Blu Rays that I have bought but never opened to watch them yet.
Your highness is a guilty pleasure movie I enjoy
This film came out when i was 11 so i was understandably pretty enamoured with that shot of Natalie Portman...
No clue why this was the film she chose to do that in. Can’t complain too much tho
It came out when I was 21 and so was I lol
Oh man I’m old , and I so wasn’t 11 when this came out
Sorry to burst the bubble here since I also enjoyed that part as a Star Wars fan, but that was actually a body double. Natalie was pregnant during filming for that scene
@@colten53 was her head pasted onto the body double? I remember it being a full body shot
5:26 I think Land of the Lost (2009) deserves its own episode.
Yep, such a TERRIBLE film; I remember how bad the (2009) version; such a boring; terrible; waste of time; both on TV; and in theaters; and I'm glad I never saw it in theaters; because I would've walked right the f**k out. Such a disgrace to the name of Land of the Lost; and honestly? Will Ferrell was just boring and not right in the role. Danny McBride though? Was the only reason to NOT walk out of the film; although I wouldn't blame you if you did...I tried to convince myself the 2009 Land of The Lost wasn't a complete pile of garbage, but it most definitely was. I'm even surprised people remember it; at all; really. Because it ended abruptly, and NEVER got the promised sequel; and it ends with the cast being permanently stuck in their Jurassic Park rip-off; and never get back to the other side. Fine by me... if it keeps them from producing another terrible Land of the Lost film like the one with Will Ferrari and Danny McBride(although he was alright in that film), it's fine. But he was great in "Tropic Thunder"; and "Eastbound & Down"; which made me like Danny McBride as an actor. And yeah; Land of the Lost (2009), deserves to be forgotten; but brought up one more time; for an episode, yeah, you're definitely right about that.
YES
@@user-bz8sy9cj8e EXACTLY. But uh; "Tropic Thunder"; though? Give THAT film; a sequel! Tom Cruise? Danny McBride, Robert Downey Jr.(THIS was the film that restarted energy back into his career, and RDJ's very next role? Taking on the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man; the very NEXT year, as everyone who saw him in Tropic Thunder; had THAT much faith in the guy, myself included; and it was worth it. And I'm glad I saw Tropic Thunder in theaters, when it came out; because it gave the people who saw it; knew it would be worth it. And I'm glad I did; but the saddest part about "Tropic Thunder"? It never got that sequel; but I guess when you look at it; while it didn't NEED one; the WORLD certainly could've used a "Tropic Thunder 2"; you know? Instead of a bad remake of an old a$$ TV series that barely ANYONE even remembers(Land of the Lost; 2009), why not just give the world a 2nd Tropic Thunder; with the entire original cast from the 1st one? They're not even doing anything right now! This would be the perfect time and place for another Tropic Thunder...just saying... sorry for the essay; but that's just how I feel about all this, honestly.
I loved this movie no matter how dumb it may be. I have watched it with my friends and my wife probably million times. :D
Yeah I Loved this move, this and Land of the Lost are two movie that I'm always surprised get so much hate
Love this movie!
@@PandasRViolentHave you ever taken an IQ test?
@@21kburd No, but judging by your statement you're probably the kind of person who jerks off to A24 films and thinks Rick and Morty is for Smart People
I thoroughly enjoyed Your Higness, but I sometimes enjoy "stupid fun"
Seeing you include the clip of Hot Fuzz at 10:45 just makes me a little more upset you haven't done a video on the the comedic genius of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost.
What is there to say that hasn't already been said? They are great films.
I actually love this movie, its so stupid its kind of brilliant.
I only remember 2 things from this film: Natalie Portman and the line ‘no never triangle face, I hate triangle face it scares me’
Danny McBride is one of those actors that no matter if the project is good or bad, he’s usually good in them
I used to think I hate him but now I know I just hate every character he plays.
@@zodbergthat’s probably because he pretty much just plays himself 😂
He's a horrible writer. Look what he and Green did to Halloween.
@@ExplorerDS6789 do you use Woke as an insult a lot?
@@zodberg you'll clearly notice I didn't say "woke" one time here, dummy. But I do use "dummy" as an insult when necessary.
Parody movies only work if (1) the makers love the parodied source and (2) everyone plays it straight and the humour comes from the absurdity of the situation: Princess Bride, Galaxy Quest, Hot Fuzz, even Airplane!
You saying Mel Brooks made parody that was straight laced in delivery. While I get your sentiment the premise is incorrect
@@MrReganomics1 you’re right, my comment is inaccurate.
'even Airplane'?
The Princess Bride isn't a parody.
@@Halbared I suck.
@@thibaud1832 Nah. It's just chat, there's a lot of crossover.
I remember seeing this movie in theaters on a first date.
Let's just say that it ended up being the last date, too.
😢no nudie fun?
Good . That girl was a pig anyways .
If your date didn’t want a second because of a movie you didn’t lose anything
@@SlimCharles2023 lol there was more to it than just the movie (the movie was HIS pick, btw). We just didn’t work out, but I think it’s funny to blame it on the bad movie.
I’m happily married and have a kid, and last I heard, he is also happily married with a kid … So, you know, it’s all good! Haha.
@@spiderleenie ahh ok lol his loss
I just rewatched this like a month ago it’s funny as hell; when he’s riding in the carriage and he’s like “I plan on getting royally Fuc**d up” 😂😂😂
“If nobody disagrees 😏 “
LOL
“clean yourself up” as he pulls a handkerchief from the grip of his hand and unfurls it open at em 😆🤣🥹
Speaking of movies that marry fantasy and comedy well, I just watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and it was surprisingly enjoyable.
You gotta admit that the fact it’s a Heist Movie is pretty Damn fun, along with a lot of Inventive stuff going on in each scene that plays out.
I’m watching it again right now. I hope they make a sequel to it. Chris Pine and the entire cast is hilarious fun
Honor Among Thieves is a pretty transparent Guardians of the Galaxy clone, even down to some of the characters basically being the same in terms of personalities, and yet, that almost works to its benefit. I had an absolute blast with it and really hope they make a sequel
Yeah, it wasn't a masterpiece but it was fun even if I am a bit tired of blockbuster action comedy. It had the feel of an actual D&D game where the group can't stay serious but knows when to turn it off when things get real.
I threw that one on as background noise while gaming fully expecting it to be another meh D&D film, but ended up restarting it and shutting the Xbox off to actually watch it. Definitely a fun flick.
I actually really love this movie. It's stupid and vulgar, but some of the jokes have stayed with me throughout the years.
NO! NOT triangle face! NEVER triangle face! ... it scares me :(
I do too. I saw it on Netflix and it became one of my favorite movies.
Punch the tip and twist it 🐢
Say what you will, but the "Thundarian's birthday" line still floats through my head to this day.
Love Your Highness. I just recently watched it again and laughed the whole time.
My cousin and I went and saw this in theaters and we laughed our balls off. I'd say that's a win.
This film lives in my head rent free.
McBride's rise was meteoric, justifiably so. He is amazingly talented. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this video. A super cool idea that was really squandered by some talented folks. It's always risky to go 100% improv with your jokes and not actually write anything. Overall though I feel like this was a minor mis-step for all involved, not a career ender for anybody.
I remember seeing Natalie Portman on the poster and thinking "WTF? She is like an Oscar level actress, what is she doing in this?"
She wanted $$$ to help get Black Swan made 🎬. She's not crazy about it.
@@DavidLLambertmobile According to TV tropes she eventually got the money for Black Swan from another source, but had already signed on to this.
I bought this on DVD not knowing what it was. Found it hilarious and still do.
I watched it. I thought it was ok.
Saw this in the theaters when it came out and liked it but probably haven't seen it since 2011
Wait, this is classed as faliure? I never knew that. I fucking love this movie.
I normally don’t care for movies like this, but this movie cracks me up!😂❤
I've seen this movie a dozen times and I've loved it every time.
Yeah this movies awesome, I dont think he understands the point in a stoner flick
@@Miasma707i'm not a stoner, neither are my friends but we do mive the movie
*love
I love this movie. So quotable.
Handle thy shit! 😁
The Fuckening!
'finished as a major motion picture' I like how Danny McBride looks genuinely proud of the project. A project that no one remembers today. I don't know if I should be sad for him or not.😭🤔
I went and saw this movie opening weekend. Was not what I was expecting. But still watch it at least once a year. Gets better every time
It’s a shame it’s not a fantastic movie cos McBride and DGG’s other collaborations (and Jody Hill) are basically the gold standard for modern comedy. So keen for Righteous Gemstones season 3 next week.
I was surprised this was titled a failure, I know the critics didn't like it but I did!
"Fantasy and comedy are two genres that when done right can be married perfectly together." The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has entered the chat.
Hell yes. Love Discworld.
Monty Python and The Holy Grail over here like "Thank you! I needed a break..."
It also helps that he's so good with wordplay.
Discworld then dropped its mic and left.
Yes! Loved the colour of magic!
It’s a good movie. It’s not great in any sort of way, but it’s got its own weird charm and so many funny lines.
I think it just barely manages to be okay, so I guess I'm with you. I really don't think it's worth thinking about but it's alright.
I love your forgotten failures videos keep up the good work
This movie is underrated. I love it. I feel that what makes it so good to me is it’s like when you’re trying to run a semi serious dnd campaign and it’s immediately derailed by your goofy friends. Then, instead of getting pissed about it you change the campaign and characters into something they want to play. I imagine the DM starting off making lazaar serious but then later getting silly with it shouting “jumping!” As the BBEG tries to get distance from the party in the final battle, or having the Minotaur start banging their npc helper. It’s crass, goofy, immature, and anachronistic in most of its dialogue, but this is exactly the sort of nonsense a dnd campaign can turn into if everyone is on board and the DM is chill.
I absolutely loved this movie!
Everyone in the theater was dying laughing when I went. That Minator scene killed.
He made chain out of it, I couldnt stop laughing and then hes training with the sword on a mountain with it on! 😂😂😂
They nailed what they were going for. It just seems like spoof-movies got worn out so hard in the 2000s and early 2010 that even the worthwhile watches were passed up all the same as the later "Scary Movie" style genre mocking mashups
The Black Knight is a high note in this sub-genre
I absolutely love this movie.
The unrated version is awesome. Toke up watch it. Dying laughing😂
I knew it. I had a feeling HatsOff would be uploading
The new Dungeons & Dragon movie has proven that Fantasy and Comedy can still work when thought and care is put into it.
Really enjoyed that movie. I'm surprised Hats Off didn't reference the movie here.
@@peterschadenberg9045did it not do well?
Princess bride?!
I don't even remember this movie existing, so I guess for me it is truly forgotten.
I think this movie is awesome, and I won't apologize for it
This is one of my favorite movies.
i was obsessed with this movie when it came out and made all my friends watch it too. I still think of it fondly
I loved this movie. Had me rolling the whole time.
Nice job on that sponsor! I've been enjoying your videos for years, and you definitely deserve to make that money!
I rented this from Redbox for $1 with absolutely zero expectations and lots of pizza, and had a blast.
I remember seeing this on DVD for a dollar. The big things I remember about this movie was the minotaur "trophy" and that Natalie Portman used a butt double.
It wasn't a double. It was complete CGI.
And I loved when McBride is trying to rescue Deschanel she grabs the Minotaur member because she's under a spell.
She looked amazing in that movie😁
What a fraud
I really got a sense of pride and accomplishment from watching the ad break...
It honestly works for me more often than it doesn't.
I feel like Your Highness deserves to be in the "almost cult classic" category.
Love this film
Wow you hit the nail on the head with this. The worst part of your highness for me is that it was such a great premise and there was a few memorable and funny things, like the barbarian that joined them getting killed by the trap as quick as he did, lazaar saying magic mother fucker, his line about being rich living in a castle and doing fucking magic. the centaur trophy as crude as it was got a laugh out of me. I was 20 when this came out and like you found some of the dialogue to be needlessly crude to the detriment of the story or scene.
Thanks for this :) I’m not much into stoner comedy BUT I love unique ideas and look forward to watching
Unabashedly love this movie.
Great video essay, one that most directors, actors and producers should learn about it.
This movie was and IS super underrated so damn funny!!!
Great job
I’ve seen this movie dozens of times. This and “Day One” with Jack Black were my sleepy time movies for at least a year. “Not triangle face, it scares me.” Classic.
Love this movie. I have probably seen it a dozen or so times.
Always enjoyed this movie. The production value was unnecessarily bigger than probably needed but it makes the fantasy aspects work all the better.
Love this movie
Loved this movie!
This is one of my most favorite movies ever!
I've always been puzzled as to why this movie didn't quite work, and of course you articulated it perfectly.
Love your videos
Its awesome that you're getting sponsors now
This movie was amazing idc
I used to watch this over and over. It was really only funny if you were high or drunk.
i like it without being either one of those, it's stupid but funny as hell. Not everyone can laugh at stupid fun movies.
i love this movie
honestly i love this movie. i know its stupid but it makes me laugh. #TriangleFace
A dude at my work does a perfect triangle face
No not triangle face it’s scares me 😂
have never seen but recall it being in cinema back in the day
This movie is hilarious. I loved it.
Your Highness was awesome.
I love this movie.
I really liked this movie. Underrated
Honestly, I feel like there is a very promising premise here that just needed the RIGHT hands to execute it properly.
Like you said, Joe, I hope someone else takes a crack at it again one day.
The Forbidden Secrets guy actually gave me nightmares
I like this film a lot
Great movie
In my mind, I've somehow always conflated this film and Year One. Watching your video on this now and immediately racing to watch your video on Year One from last year, I'm starting to see why. While the talent and intention behind them initially seems very different, with Year One being scripted by incredibly talented comedy writers and Your Highness more being from the onset a massive improv session between its principal players, they both come off with a similar feel. Lowbrow humor that could work in some contexts that instead just feels tiring. It similarly has a strong cast that are playing their usual personas more than distinct characters. Also in similar fashion, they don't have enough straight comedy to make the more stoogish comedy to contrast with. Not only do they have loose connections in their dressing (period piece stoner comedies that try to genre bend a little with historical fantasy) but they share a lot of the same problems. Heck, most of your criticisms of the two movies overlap. Despite having two years between them, Your Highness really does feel like a repeat of most of the mistakes of Year One with a slightly different shade of paint.
Dude. Me too. This and Year One were always on deck. They’re great “dumb” comedies that never get old.
Agreed .
I love this movie
When you THINK you're the demo lmao
great movie
This movie is unresponsible unappreciated
"It started as a joke" And it finished as a joke.
I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Thanks.
Great video
~Playful Secrets!~ lol I love this movie!
I watched the unrated version of this film, and as soon as I saw the minotaur in your video I had to pause for a moment because of the PTSD.
I remember when this came out I made it about 20 minutes in and turned it off. I tried rewatching it recently, I made it about 20 minutes in and turned it off. I get it may have enough scenes for a 10 minute gag/funny scenes reel, but it wasn't enough.
I agreed with everything you said, and it shows why no one ever talks about this movie. If you're gonna do this type of movie the jokes HAVE to be well written and actually funny (new D&D movie). Labeled comedies set in modern day can be improv because most of the time it's people who are naturally funny cracking jokes, not actual actors trying too hard to BE funny on the fly. In my opinion there's nothing worse than a labeled comedy that isn't funny. I get comedy is subjective, but chemistry is also a big part, and Franco and Danny just didn't have it. They were trying to cash in on their success at the time and thought anything they put out would make $300M. Even Seth Rogen would have been funnier than McBride during that time.
