Austin Chronicle
Your Highness is awfully vulgar fun when it works, which is much of the time (although it could've benefited from a few judicious cuts here and there). - 60
Time Out
The belly laughs do come, many of them courtesy of the mechanical bird companion. - 50
Orlando Sentinel
It's meant to be faintly Pythonesque with a hint of bowdlerized "The Black Adder"...But it's entirely too slow of foot for that comparison to pay off. - 40
Arizona Republic
It's an ironclad rule for comedies: Stupid is fine, as long as it's funny. But if it's not? Well, then it's just . . . stupid. - 38
Chicago Tribune
An exhaustingly pushy, phallocentric and witlessly smutty spoof of early '80s medieval fantasies such as "Krull" and "The Beastmaster." - 30
Village Voice
Your Highness plays like a dirty-joke blooper reel made by the cast of a junky sword-and-sorcery epic. - 25
Miami Herald
The film will probably play a lot better in dorm rooms with plenty of beer kegs and bongs on hand, but in the confines of a movie theater, it's deadly - the sort of bad comedy Mel Brooks made late in his career, until he finally smartened up and quit. - 10
Variety
That skunky smell emanating from Your Highness ain't pot; it's the stink of miscalculation that surrounds an inside joke gone awry.
