Your Highness: A Quick Review

How in the world do some movies get made? It's like Hollywood just puts movies out because otherwise they'd have nothing to do. And how did they get James Franco, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel into it? They must have photos of them in compromising positions, or they didn't read the script, or they thought it was a joke, or it was the easiest money they've ever made, or, and I'm serious on this one, this is the first sign of the apocalypse. If it's not it should be

Fabbeus (Danny McBride), or Theaddeus, I didn't really care to learn any ones name is a royal screwup. The other rhyming brother (James Franco) is the royal heir who likes to quest and make the other Gladius look bad. The good flabbeus finds a bride on his quest (Zooey) who promptly gets kidnapped by some evil wizard at their wedding that the bad crabbeus decided not attend because smoking weed is way more fun. King baddeus decides to send both brothers on a quest to rescue her, which is a problem for Danny McBride because questing sucks.

Your Highness is pretty bad all around. It plays like scary movie 5, or whatever other crap the Wayans are trying to push on me, the kind that make fun of at least 30 movies in one movie. The only shining star is Danny McBride because this is right up his alley. Hearing him drop f-bombs in front of medieval peasants was probably the whole inspiration for this film. And it's decent but it can't hold a whole film. I wouldn't watch this one for free, not that I'd recommend it but the only way to enjoy Your Highness is to go the Fabeus way and find something to smoke. That was probably the other inspiration: watching The Holy Grail whilst smoking....genius.

1/2 a star out of 4, and that's only because of Danny McBride
