Yep, such a TERRIBLE film; I remember how bad the (2009) version; such a boring; terrible; waste of time; both on TV; and in theaters; and I'm glad I never saw it in theaters; because I would've walked right the f**k out. Such a disgrace to the name of Land of the Lost; and honestly? Will Ferrell was just boring and not right in the role. Danny McBride though? Was the only reason to NOT walk out of the film; although I wouldn't blame you if you did...I tried to convince myself the 2009 Land of The Lost wasn't a complete pile of garbage, but it most definitely was. I'm even surprised people remember it; at all; really. Because it ended abruptly, and NEVER got the promised sequel; and it ends with the cast being permanently stuck in their Jurassic Park rip-off; and never get back to the other side. Fine by me... if it keeps them from producing another terrible Land of the Lost film like the one with Will Ferrari and Danny McBride(although he was alright in that film), it's fine. But he was great in "Tropic Thunder"; and "Eastbound & Down"; which made me like Danny McBride as an actor. And yeah; Land of the Lost (2009), deserves to be forgotten; but brought up one more time; for an episode, yeah, you're definitely right about that.

McBride's rise was meteoric, justifiably so. He is amazingly talented. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this video. A super cool idea that was really squandered by some talented folks. It's always risky to go 100% improv with your jokes and not actually write anything. Overall though I feel like this was a minor mis-step for all involved, not a career ender for anybody.

I was 20 when this came out and like you found some of the dialogue to be needlessly crude to the detriment of the story or scene.

This movie is underrated. I love it. I feel that what makes it so good to me is it’s like when you’re trying to run a semi serious dnd campaign and it’s immediately derailed by your goofy friends. Then, instead of getting pissed about it you change the campaign and characters into something they want to play. I imagine the DM starting off making lazaar serious but then later getting silly with it shouting “jumping!” As the BBEG tries to get distance from the party in the final battle, or having the Minotaur start banging their npc helper. It’s crass, goofy, immature, and anachronistic in most of its dialogue, but this is exactly the sort of nonsense a dnd campaign can turn into if everyone is on board and the DM is chill.

Honestly, I feel like there is a very promising premise here that just needed the RIGHT hands to execute it properly. Like you said, Joe, I hope someone else takes a crack at it again one day.

In my mind, I've somehow always conflated this film and Year One. Watching your video on this now and immediately racing to watch your video on Year One from last year, I'm starting to see why. While the talent and intention behind them initially seems very different, with Year One being scripted by incredibly talented comedy writers and Your Highness more being from the onset a massive improv session between its principal players, they both come off with a similar feel. Lowbrow humor that could work in some contexts that instead just feels tiring. It similarly has a strong cast that are playing their usual personas more than distinct characters. Also in similar fashion, they don't have enough straight comedy to make the more stoogish comedy to contrast with. Not only do they have loose connections in their dressing (period piece stoner comedies that try to genre bend a little with historical fantasy) but they share a lot of the same problems. Heck, most of your criticisms of the two movies overlap. Despite having two years between them, Your Highness really does feel like a repeat of most of the mistakes of Year One with a slightly different shade of paint.

David Gordon Green has had such a hilariously chaotic career. Man has a film in the Criterion collection, made a GREAT stoner comedy classic (not this) and also helmed a solid reboot to a classic horror franchise. Inversely, he’s responsible for this bomb and two Halloween sequels that are…divisive to say the least. Oh and can’t forget that Bones and All cameo lol.

This movie features some genuinely gruesome violence which is off-putting but also enjoyable, I will say the recent DnD movie is apparently very good and funny too

This movie is ridiculous to the point of genuine stupidity, and I love every moment of it. Except the minotaur bit...

I watched the unrated version of this film, and as soon as I saw the minotaur in your video I had to pause for a moment because of the PTSD.

I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Thanks.

I remember when this came out I made it about 20 minutes in and turned it off. I tried rewatching it recently, I made it about 20 minutes in and turned it off. I get it may have enough scenes for a 10 minute gag/funny scenes reel, but it wasn't enough. I agreed with everything you said, and it shows why no one ever talks about this movie. If you're gonna do this type of movie the jokes HAVE to be well written and actually funny (new D&D movie). Labeled comedies set in modern day can be improv because most of the time it's people who are naturally funny cracking jokes, not actual actors trying too hard to BE funny on the fly. In my opinion there's nothing worse than a labeled comedy that isn't funny. I get comedy is subjective, but chemistry is also a big part, and Franco and Danny just didn't have it. They were trying to cash in on their success at the time and thought anything they put out would make $300M. Even Seth Rogen would have been funnier than McBride during that time.

Man -- if I ever made a movie and it came out like _THAT,_ I don't think I'd tell the story about it originating as a joke...🤣 and certainly not while glowing with pride!

This movie was amazing idc

It was great. Everybody knows you cannot sever the horn of a minotaur
