Your Highness (2011)

Not much going on, on this Tuesday afternoon.  A couple construction guys had to work on the kitchen, so I was forced to hang around the house.  This is the second movie in my movie marathon for the day.  It just became available online, and Danny McBride is pretty hilarious so I figured I'd give it a try.

When Prince Fabious's bride is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer in order to complete an evil prophecy, he goes on a quest to rescue her.  Prince Thadious his lazy brother joins him on the quest, when forced by his father to become a man.  Along the road, a female warrior with the same quest to kill the evil sorcerer accompanies the group and together with a crafty squire they embark on a crude comedic epic.

The plot is shallow and mimics Clash of the Titans, but being a comedy of this sort its pretty much expected.  Danny McBride was the lead writer for the film and its very obvious.  His crude awkward humor which can be hit or miss is exactly that here.  Natalie Portman and James Franco were both cast well for their roles, and Danny McBride fits perfectly, obviously.  Strict comedies like these that rely heavily on the jokes and humor instead of the storyline are subjective and Danny McBride's brand can be appreciated by few, so just because I liked it doesn't mean you will.  My suggestion is if you like him, you'll like this movie.
