Saw this today, and I thought it was great. Natalie Portman gets the line of the year. I definitely want a sequel.

How's this for good planning: the showtime at the theatre here was: 4:20PM. LOL
Justin Theroux Interview YOUR HIGHNESS, ZOOLANDER 2
Nice Zoolander 2 update in here too.
CHUD.com — REVIEW: Your Highness
Your Highness is unabashedly R-rated. Thadious acquires a fashion accessory in the final third of the film that pretty much guarantees that this can never be shown on regular television. Yet, I’m a little surprised the film is pushing the stoner thing so hard, as weed barely factors into the film and strangely feels forced during the few instances that it is. It’s almost like McBride and co-writer Ben Best just loved the title so much that they figured they had to put weed in there somewhere. But considering the number of people out there with an aversion to stoner humor, it seems like a pointlessly marginalizing way to advertise the film. Though fear not stoners, you’ll clearly like this film. Looking back, I wish I’d been stoned while watching it. McBride and Best really milk their anachronistic angle (ie, McBride and Theroux talking like they’re from 2011 America; like yelling, “Quests suck!”) at every possible moment, which yields a largely lackluster, but at times hilarious 1:3 success ratio. Not great, but respectable. Your Highness can probably join the club of films like The Blues Brothers, in which a collective of hot comedians somehow talked a studio into giving them a huge chunk of change to make something so patently preposterous. Gotta give McBride props for that.
