FILM: Your Highness (dir: David Gordon Green, 2011)


"I know your vulgarity masks your pain."


Great idea, promising trailer, awful movie. Scene after scene crashes and burns as the witless script is delivered haphazardly by Danny McBride and James Franco, leaving Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman very little with which to work. Rasmus Hardiker (boyfriend Ben in TV's Lead Balloon) and Damian Lewis understand the value of playing their roles straight, and Steve Jablonsky creates a wonderfully rousing score, but otherwise Your Highness has very little indeed to recommend it.
