I used to be a bit of stoner. While I have not partaken in years, I had a desire to see the movie Pineapple Express, as it seemed like a comedy that I could relate to. I have yet to see it. But perhaps that was a good thing, since it wouldn't color my judgment of Your Highness. I managed to get a free early screening pass from my new job.
When I got there, I saw "Reserved for Press" seats. I have to say that seeing made me smile; the fact that I was going to be seeing this movie along with the local "real" critics meant a lot to me as an amateur critic.
Pros: Good acting all around (even from the minor characters), the dialogue is hilarious (innuendo-laden as hell too), cinematography was good (with one exception, see below), the setting was fleshed out enough so that the audience could follow but not drowning in background and story, and the soundtrack was very well done (but very typical for a fantasy film).
Cons: Fight cinematography was was very confusing (it seemed if the the cameraman was swaying wildly to get as much possible shown and it was just a mess), and the plot is EXTREMELY cliched (but I did go into this knowing that).
Overall, a wonderful fantasy with comedic elements that can be appreciated by anyone with a perverted mind.
