Universal Pictures is out with another Red Band trailer for Your Highness, the comedy that stars Danny McBride, Oscar nominee James Franco and Oscar winner Natalie Portman. The Red Band offers more raunchy laughs. Will the film live up to its trailers?
Loading ... Loading ...
This looks Hilarious! Can’t wait!
I think this thing looks like a steaming pile of sh!t, but maybe I’m the only one.
No, there are many others. But, I’m not one of them. I’m with John.
I watched this with the sound off, just in case my mom heard it. It has boobies in it! Heh-heh! I like boobies! Then I watched it with the sound on because I’m a grown up and my mom’s out. Prurient and juvenile, I’d say. Wants to have its cake, eat it and eat mine too. Looks like a schizo genre mash-up. Can’t wait for that remake of Flesh Gordon that has to be in the works somewhere.
Haha, you sound like the exact type of audience this movie caters to. I can’t wait for this, either.
Your post was funnier than the trailer.
Bad sign, methinks.
WTF!!!! R they kidding me! Awful!! Just freaking awful! How crap like this keeps getting produced is beyond me!!!
I didn’t laugh once. Is this a comedy?
I’m with you, Curtis. I didn’t even smile once.
I laughed nonce. Another slam dunk from Universal!
Zooey Deschanel is so beautiful and voluptuous. This incredibly gorgeous and curvaceous young woman is pure American perfection
Horrible. McBride isn’t funny. Franco isn’t talented at all. Portman has never been good in anything light. It just promises boobs and dick jokes for the 11-year olds. Happy 11th birthday, John.
First off – why is Universal selling a full swim suit in the TV trailer and a thong in this Red Band trailer? Which is she wearing in the actual movie? Can’t wait for some upset parent sues because she had zero warning that her child was exposed to Natalie Portman’s nearly fully exposed ass.
This still looks like it should be sold as “From the Studio that brought you Hercules and Xena…..”
Yeah, that parent would totally sue. That makes so much sense. Because you can sue for things like that.
Also, it’s rated R.
And it’s a spoof of the Hercules/Xena genre. That’s the idea.
And the additional butt-cover in the TV trailer is because tiny thongs apparently aren’t allowed except in red-band trailers. She’ll be wearing the thong in the actual movie. In case anyone else was actually confused about that.
You can’t spoof Hercules and Xena – many of those episodes were spoofs.
Far as the thong goes – if she’s not wearing a full swimsuit – don’t sell me a full swimsuit scene on TV and the green trailer. The Porkys trailer didn’t have the girls showering in swimsuits.
although I don’t have too much hopes for the film seeing how Universal had it yanked from SXSW after promising to send the stars down to promote it.
they can’t have a thong in the R rated so they actually add regular panties as a VFX for the red band. it’ll be a thong in the movie
I think that the thong is supposed to be a chastity belt.
I’m not sure about the chemistry between Franco and Portman, Anne Hathaway might have been a better choice.
Yeah, didn’t find anything remotely funny. Hope that’s all right. I thought the Bad Teacher trailer was very funny?
Love Danny McBride, but what a god-awful English accent. Enough to keep me away. It makes the whole thing feel like amateur hour.
Dare I say that methinks the accent is part of the jocularity?
Methinks if McBride could do a half-decent — or at the very least consistent — English accent he would.
This doesn’t appear to be the kind of film where an authentic accent is necessary.
LOL
Freaking hilarious.
Ripsnorter – go watch a movie with subtitles.
I tried that one time, but they threw me out for running my finger under the text and speaking out loud.
Good one, man.
Yikes. Not looking good. David Gordon Green should go back to Malick-ian indie dramas.
All these naysayers and humorously-challenged were probably the same ones that dissed on THE PRINCESS BRIDE when it came out.
YOUR HIGHNESS looks brilliant (so jealous of its genius) and I can’t help but laugh every time I see McBride try to tongue Portman at the end of the trailer. With that said, I hope the movie is as good as the trailers cuz THE PHANTOM MENACE had a great trailer but turned out to be a pile of dinosaur shit.
The Phantom Menace, Princess Bride…both movies where the terms raunchy and trash humor definitely don’t apply or come close to Your Highness.
How dare you compare this movie to The Princess Bride. Slap yourself immediately.
@jena: I thought of BRIDE at first too, which is one of my all time favorites. However, the big difference from the scenes they chose to show is that BRIDE was a spoof/send-up of fairy tales BUT–a respectful and genuinely funny one, and it had, more than anything else-HEART. That was the major reason for it’s success. HEART in the relationship between the grandfather/grandson, Wesley & Buttercup, Mandy Patinkin’s character’s dedication to avenge his father’s death. This just looks sophomoric and stupid. My opinion.
HIGHNESS is the state-of-mind for the audience its seeking just like the state-of-mind of the audience back when BRIDE was released. The comparison is very valid because BRIDE pushed the envelope when it was released and HIGHNESS will (hopefully) do the same.
This film looks hilarious. This trailer isn’t as funny as the last one, though. Danny McBride appears to be the movie’s comedy MVP.
Nothing about this is entertaining. But then, I’m no longer a 16-year old boy.
I guess I’m officially old at forty. This looks pretty dumb. I like everyone involved but this seems like something they cracked themselves up over a weekend binge and somehow, inexplicably, wrote, developed, produced, shot, edited, scored and distributed over the following year(s). Man…
Hey I’m not even close to 40 and this just looks dumb. Nothing in any of the trailers has made me laugh.
It looks lame to me and I’m in my 20′s. Of course, maybe anyone over 16 is considered old these days.
I’m a 16 year-old boy, but I don’t laugh everytime someone makes a penis joke or get excited cuz a movie has boobies. That’s really stereotypical. I really liked the trailer, though. Yeah, I know it’s dumb humor, but that can be fun sometimes, just as much as satirical humor, political humor, more polished humor, etc… You don’t have to be dumb to enjoy a dumb comedy, if it’s well-written.
Cool post. Too bad you’re not really 16.
Are you an assistant at Universal or the writer’s agent?
Wow there are a Lot of haters. This looks freakin hilarious
This is not good as the first red band trailer. That was a work of art.
I’d say this is pretty much the peak, the absolute pinnacle of McBride’s talent.
As such, it serves as a fine example as to why I find him considerably less funny than a 13 year old telling poop jokes.
But in nation that DOESN’T find Michelle Bachmann hilariously funny, regards Palin as an intellect, and wherein our financial woes are blamed on greedy teachers – but where corporate bosses lead the populists – well, I guess that’s a nation where this could be a beloved, comedy smash.
Oh take your politics elsewhere. Sometimes a dumb movie is just a dumb movie. At the height of America’s pride, influence and productivity Jerry Lewis was acting like a retard in every other movie that was released.
Jesus you people need to get laid.
You’re trying so hard, but you’re still losing. Maybe you should realize this fillm DOESN’T take itself seriously. It must be hard with weight of the world upon your shoulders to breath deeply and laugh.
I’m a 37-year old man who still finds poop jokes funny if done right. And I hope that I always will or else I might as well just shoot myself, because life’s too short as it is.
And I also find Michelle Bachman scary, Sarah Palin a moron and am frustrated by the shrinking middle -class and the expansion of corporate greed.
I don’t know if this film will be any good, but the first trailer was hilarious and this one was amusing. The Farrelly brothers are an example of guys who do dumb humor well. “Boat Trip” is an example of dumb humor done wrong.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
This movie is gonna make bank. Do you have any idea how starved for comedy that isn’t based on “OMG Wacky relationship dynamic!” people are?! After a season of Dilemmas, Hall Passes and Just Going with it, finally a comedy that isn’t about 40 somethings involved in horrible, deceptive, and dysfunctional relationships!
There is a place for dumb comedy in the world.
It is really sad that people with such promise as Franco and Portman don’t give a rats butt about taking money from producers who don’t know what the frak they’re doing.
When will people realize that Danny McBride is a one speed bike? It’s just not funny. It’s childish, soulless hackery – why on Earth people keep buying this crap is beyond me.
If you don’t like Danny McBride, fine. You are entitled.
But…how many great comedians *aren’t* one note/single speed/etc.?
Chris Rock’s one note is that he is a social critic whose aim at his own community/race is just as sharp as it is on the rest of America. And he is brilliant.
Jerry Seinfeld’s optimal setting is based on observations of the banal and a resigned acceptance of man’s peculiarities. And he co-created one of the most successful series of mass entertainment in the medium’s history.
Bill Hicks’ single speed was (while perhaps *on* speed) that of middle class rage setting C4 explosives at the front door of corporate America, and sticking around to have a smoke & watch it all burn. And he was so goddamn good, he had to die young.
Same shit goes for great but maligned artists like Wes Anderson: since when is becoming a master of a specific discipline, style or mood a reason to shit on an artist/entertainer?
Danny McBride is damn good at what he does. And peel back a layer or two of lowbrow in Eastbound & Down and one can see the empathy, heart and soul of something a little more substantial than the more immediate, dirtbag humor that also, sorry, kicks much ass.
We’re f’ing in, YOU’RE f’ing out.
Cost $70 mil. That’s the problem.
I like all involved, but the trailer feels a little desperate.
You bring up a good point. $70 M is a HUGE gamble for any comedy, let alone a medieval one, especially in the last couple years where flops and break-evens are becoming more common. I hope it’s funny like the first trailer. And if it is, I hope it’s a hit.
really torn here. love mcbride, have no interest in seeing portman or franco attempt comedy. i think this is a redbox rental for me
