Your Highness
Trying to make the stoner Citizen Kane will never be easy. It could be that the audience’s mental perception is so tweaked that they fail to remember much of the film afterwards or that they spent most of the film’s running time making strafing runs on the candy bar satisfying the munchies. Either way the members of the audience that films like this are made for might not be the best at spreading the word. Into that breach comes the lowly sober film critic.

Setting the film in a fantasy world of a mythical kingdom with kings, princes, princesses and royal rivalries has really helped to ramp up the silliness. And if that was not enough, throw in some computer generated dragons and the stray vixen or two and you are really on to something.
Nestled into the oh so comfy land of bigger than life adventures and supplemented by mountains of sugary and salty snacks and the anonymous nature of a darkened room, Your Highness has the potential to become one of those real guilty pleasures. Just make sure to consider the legality of your viewing preparations and the required transportation methods afterwards.
