Pretty Unfunny and Odd Comedy

Although there are funny moments, mostly due to the improv skill of the cast, this film seems haphazardly thrown together, as if the director and writers came up with the idea on the spot and wrote the entire script in a day. The lampooning of bad 70's and 80's sword and sorcery epics is only funny if you are familiar with those films. I'm not offended by much, but the vulgarity and constant swearing in Your Highness is so over the top that it almost feels like the film's creators are trying to throw every offensive thing they can into the film, rather than let it develop organically from the plot (ala Superbad or any Apatow film.) As a whole, directionless, hit-and-miss with humor, and disappointing, considering the cast and talent behind it.
