Pineapple Express co-stars Danny McBride and James Franco reunite for director David Gordon Green's fantasy comedy Your Highness, which sends up such beloved '80s gems as Krull and The Sword and the Sorcerer. Thadeous (McBride) has always stood in the shadow of his older brother, Fabious (Franco), a fearless knight who never met a Minotaur he couldn't slay or a warlord he couldn't defeat. Meanwhile, as Fabious embarked on incredible adventures and returned home to lavish celebrations, Thadeous puffed on wizard's weed, and spent his nights in the company of loose maidens. But Thadeous' life of luxury comes to an abrupt end when powerful wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux) shows up and abducts Fabious' beautiful fiancée, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel). Now threatened with being cut off from the family fortune by his father, the king (Charles Dance), Thadeous reluctantly agrees to join Fabious on a treacherous quest to rescue the fair maiden, and defeat Leezar once and for all. Their voyage to rescue Belladonna will be marked by incredible adventure and unprecedented danger, but together with the help of a fearless warrior named Isabel (Natalie Portman) the two brothers will battle mythical beasts and villainous knights. Meanwhile, as Isabel carries out a clandestine agenda that could place them all in greater danger than they ever imagined, Thadeous struggles to summon his inner warrior and help his noble brother prevent Leezar from using his powers to usher in a terrifying new age of darkness. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I will say this is one of the most (if not the most) unique comedies I have ever seen...with that being said it is also one of the most innapropriate movies I have ever seen also...things happen in this movie that even though it seems I have seen it all before I thought to myself, "I can't believe that just happened!" Not a good first date movie unless you're with someone who is VERY open-minded! I did laugh out loud quite a few times but some of the jokes and things that happened were just so unbelievably crude that is was hard to get past. One other thing, Danny McBride's character was so stupidly idiotic (whatever happened to lovingly awkward?) that I wished I could have been his brother Fabious just so I could drive a sword through him myself...I didn't find him funny at all and was greatly annoyed by his character...worth a watch if you don't mind VERY crude humor, but skip it if you have anything that resembles a conservative mind...

We loved Pineapple Express, but I'd rather pick apart a strangers feces and analyze the contents than watch this movie again.

If you like Danny McBride comedies, if you like corny humor, if you like James Franco, if you like silly s-ex jokes, then this movie is for you. However, this movie is NOT for young kids. It is rated R for a reason and a very good reason, not something you want to watch after church lets out for sure. Two brothers are both Princes in a kingdom. Of course one is the hero and the other the laughing stock of all the land. They soon find themselves on a quest of revenge, rescue, friendship, loyality and brotherhood.I doubt it will win any awards but it was good for a few laughs and one watch.
