In Theaters April 8, 2011_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.
