Day 158: "This quest sucks!"

Your Highness is what would happen if a fan of swords and sorcery smoked a ton of pot and wrote his dream story.  That's not a good thing.  Yes, I know, it was SUPPOSED to be a stupid stoner comedy, but I had no idea it would be this bad.  Prince Fabious' fiance is kidnapped, and he goes on a quest to save her, taking along his slacker brother: Thadeous.  Along the way they fight for their lives, see a lot of breasts, meet a tough and independent woman warrior, fight some more, and eventually save the day.  That's about it.  There are just some genres you shouldn't mix, fantasy and slacker comedy being prime examples.

The unfortunate pairing of James Franco and Danny McBride produce precious few funny moments, but there are a few.  Even the casting of Natalie Portman couldn't help this movie out.....and she was in a bikini.  Zooey Deschanel is a personal favorite, she was the best thing in this, but that's not saying a lot.

Skip this one, pretty dull with a few "meh" laughs.  Not impressed at all, but far from the bottom of the barrel.  4.75/10.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
