Your Highness - Franco, McBride Re-Team on Comedy

[Vapor]

I enjoyed the hell out of this film. I thought it was brilliant and very funny. A definite dvd purchase for me. I saw it in a half packed screening and everyone else seemed to love it too.

McBride, for me, was the best and pulled it all together. I think the rest of the cast was good but in particular, if it didn't have McBride, I don't know if it would have been as funny/good. I enjoyed it more than Pineapple Express too (which I also enjoyed).

The directing was good. The action was good and the effects were very well done for a comedy, I thought. In particular, the giant hand snake looked quite fantastic. And I thought the modern/crude humour married quite well with the fantasy setting. I don't think it felt like a mish mash or as if the fantasy and comedy elements don't go together... It worked quite well imo. I saw it as a fantasy/quest movie that was just funny... I mean, it was all taken or done in a serious manner, if it had been done as a spoof or it felt like the actors weren't taking it seriously, then I don't think it would have worked as well. It knows what it wants to be and does it.

Hangover 2 and The Inbetweeners film will probably come in as my fave comedies of the year but... It was very enjoyable.

I think the cast was all very good and DGG's direction is always surprisingly good. He literally seems to be slumming it as of late with these stoner comedies. But for some reason it just doesn't gel as a cohesive whole for a reason I don't know. Still a fun movie.

I thought it was pretty decent...Had some good laughs and everything. Danny McBride does pretty well leading in the movie here. I've always liked the guy so I'm looking forward to his next project,,
