ARTHUR'S MOVIE RATINGS

I don't presume to tell you whether or not you're going to like a movie or not--people have different tastes and like different things. The main purpose with the ratings given for movies here is to give you an idea of whether or not you should see it in the theater, wait for it to hit DVD, or skip it altogether. So if you want to break it down...

*****: AMAZING! Everyone should see this as soon as they possibly can!
****: GREAT! Worth every cent to go see it in the theater.
***: GOOD! May or may not be worth seeing in the theater, but definitely a solid choice for a rental.
**: DECENT. Not a horrible movie, but it's not a bad choice for a rental.
*: BAD. Do not watch this movie. Well, you could, but I wouldn't advise it.

Your Highness

RATING:** (2 stars)

When Prince Fabious's bride-to-be is kidnapped, he embarks on a quest to save her... joined by his lazy brother Prince Thadeous.

Danny McBride stars in what could have been a funny spoof on the fantasy genre, similar to what Blazing Saddles was for westerns. Instead the film quickly turns to little more than poor attempts at sexual humor... and stays there for the entirety of the film.

This is one of those films where I can't find anything particularly nice to say about the film, but I recognize that there is a minority of people who enjoy this kind of humor. For everyone else, I recommend this movie if you want fantasy/comedy or this movie for fantasy/action... and just about anything else currently showing if you want something recent.
