Plot Summary: Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world--"Your Highness." As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.

Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman)-an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own-the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages.

Actually surprisingly funny and entertaining! Pretty raunchy to boot. Damn Natalie Portman wears a thong well. Good movie!

I had high expectations going in, hearing how surprisingly funny it was, and how much I loved Pineapple Express. The beginning sequence and a little more was pretty slow and forced, and I was getting ready to be disappointed...but they brought me back! Damn, but Franco is an amazing comedic actor...which is good, because he sucks as a dramatic actor :D

Was every bit as silly, raunchy and sarcastic as I expected it to be, it just wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be. It was still funny but not at the level I expected.

There were moments but overall I didn't think it worked, even as a stoner flick. IMHO

James Franco rules! I find McBride pretty funny too in just about everything I've seen him in.

This wasn't something I'd watch again, but I did find most of it funny.
