Story:
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.
