Another two hours of my life I won't get back...
What do you call a comedy that isn't funny? Step aside Adam Sandler, there's a new god-awful Hollywood unfunnyman in town, and his name ain't Rob Schneider or Dana Carvey - it's Danny McBride who co-wrote and stars in this turgid pile of festering python poo. Basically? This is a film by and for nine year old boys - which pepper's the script with a few...
F#@K me!! so this is where the "F" bomb originated!!
You need to be between 18 & 25 to appreciate this movie & also have a sick sense of humor (I do) or you wont want to watch this movie after the first ten minutes. I think its a throwback at an atempt at a Monty Python classic type feel (fail) in my view.

Hollywood Reporter
pressThere is little worse in the movie world than a spoof that falls flat on its over-costumed butt, but that's what you get with Your Highness.
Empire Magazine
