"Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel)

Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

I'm always a little suspicious of trailers that have too many funny bits, even with a comedy. It all to often means all the best bits are in the trailer and everything else is a mess.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Why are people suddenly behaving as if the humor now as anything to do with why one would see this movie?

Acting, Humor for other comedies that would be important.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Not a fan of the humour style, so no go for me.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

It sort of reminds me of "The Princess Bride"...except raunchy and profane instead of sweet and innocent.

I don't know - The Princess Bride's humor was largely verbal and witty, this looks like slapstick and the assumption that saying "fuck" is funny, which it can be but often isn't. And, blessedly being female, I don't drop $20 on a night at the movies for the sake of a 2 second shot of someone's ass.

But if the reviews are good, I'll give it a shot because it's hard to predict from trailers which movies really are funny and a good comedy is a rare thing.

This, except the I'm a female part.

I can save myself 20 bucks and look at my wife's ass.

And why pay to see just that?
I'm sure the best bits will be on the internet once the blu-ray is out. :p

Hell, the trailer probably already showed most of the goods.

I know.
I was largely just playing out the one note joke of "It's her ass!"
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Looks really, really bad. 9% on RT bad.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Danny McBride is like the same character in everything he does but I've really come to like that character. :lol:
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Ooowwwwrrr...looks painful. :rommie:

Funny, I had the impression that Natalie Portman could do a decent British accent. Or is that part of the overall joke? "Joke" being defined in the broadest possible terms.

Depends on the ass, but sorry Nat, not yours. :D
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

This looks like it could be even worse than Pineapple Express, which I didn't think was possible.

Being female doesn't mean you won't be spending stupid amounts of money to see skin. Check out all the women who see Twilight. :lol:

Maybe because it's a funnier movie that Your Highness.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

I think this trailer looks pretty cool, even without the ass. (which certainly helps it, though) Great cast, great producion values, and some very funny bits. If it's as good as Pineapple Express, I'll be happy.
 
Re: "Your Highness" red band trailer (Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel

Watching it made me think of "Year One."

That is not a good thing.

Yeah. This is just...

It's painful to even watch the trailer. This is the sort of excessively stale comedy that relies on swearing and vulgarity to make up for an absence of jokes and anything resembling humour.
