Stop Now. Watch The YOUR HIGHNESS Trailer.

God bless you David Gordon Green. God bless you Danny McBride. God bless you James Franco. Because while I have no idea at all whether there are enough geeks in the world to justify the existence of a film like Your Highness I am certainly glad that you were both geek enough to make it and influential enough to convince someone else to pay for it. You've made me very, very happy.

Say it with me, people: Stoner fantasy from the director of Pineapple Express. The trailer for which features a young woman who may very well be Natalie Portman in a metal chastity belt thereby proving once again that Ms Portman may very well be the perfect woman.

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.

Fantasy is absolutely the hardest genre to get right on screen and the stoner comedy frequently the most irritating. So the prospect of putting the two together ... well, it shouldn't work nearly as well as it appears to in the just released red band trailer. Oh, lord, this is funny stuff ...
