Your Highness

Comedy and fantasy adds together might be a great combination. I remembered watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights and it was surely a hilarious show. And now came Your Highness, it's very much like National Lampoon meets LOTR.

Your Highness is a tale of 2 prince, one a warrior (Fabious - James Franco) and the other a bump (Thadeus - Danny McBride). When Fabious returns from his quest, he plans to wed his girlfriend to celebrate his victory. And during the wedding ceremony, they were interrupted by an evil sorcerer who kidnap his bride-to-be.

To prove his worth as a prince, the king forced Thadeus to set on a quest with his brother to bring back his bride. Captured and made to fight in an arena, the brothers met Isabel(Natalie Portman) and found her a worthy warrior set out on a revenge for her fathers death. The trio managed to escape the area and continued their quest towards the evil sorcerer.

Though Your Highness is not a light-hearted comedy, it brought a good sense of adventure and fantasy. The humor can get a bit too grotesque yet enjoyable for some.
