New on DVD & Blu-Ray : YOUR HIGHNESS (2011)

Synopsis: 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.

What to Expect : An unholy mix between a stoner comedy and a medieval fantasy flick. Watching the actors mix period english with F-bombs is funny for a while, but eventually just becomes part of the scenery. The same pretty much goes for the movie itself. If you liked "The Pineapple Express" you will certainly enjoy this one. Otherwise, a rental is more appropriate.
