Your Highness
Director: David Gordon Green
Actors: Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, James Franco
PlotIn a medieval fantasy world, two royal brothers embark on a perilous quest to rescue the older brother's fiancée from the clutches of an evil sorcerer. The elder brother, Fabious, is a valiant and noble warrior celebrated by his kingdom for his bravery and heroism. His younger sibling, Thadeous, is quite the opposite—lazy, inept, and more interested in drinking and mischief than in valor. After Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna, is kidnapped by the nefarious wizard Leezar, the brothers are thrust into an adventure that forces Thadeous to finally face his responsibilities. They are accompanied by Courtney, Fabious' loyal squire, and Isabel, a strong and enigmatic female warrior with her own motives for aiding them.
As they journey through mystical lands fraught with dangerous creatures and dark magic, the brothers must confront their personal shortcomings and learn the true meaning of bravery and brotherhood. Along the way, they encounter various colorful characters, each adding unique challenges and comedic elements to their quest. The group faces treacherous obstacles, from battling sinister creatures to navigating deceptive enchantments, all while working to reclaim Belladonna from Leezar's clutches. Through these trials, Thadeous starts to evolve from a selfish layabout into a more courageous and worthy ally, lending hope that the brothers might succeed in their daring mission.
