L-R Natalie Portman, Danny McBride and James Franco in Your Highness Putting aside for a moment the greater issue of the low laugh-to-joke ratio, the new comedy Your Highness clearly suffers from bad timing. James Francos purposely overripe performance as a Prince Valiant type is his first since his widely panned and even more wooden performance as Oscar host in February. And then theres Natalie Portman, the reigning Best Actress, here cracking unwise about her private parts in an arguably tasteless comedy. None of this will much matter once the film settles into its afterlife on home video and cable, but it adds to the awkwardness sure to be felt in multiplexes the scarlet pimpernel the riddle weekend. Franco plays the ever-questing Fabious, first-born son of the king Charles Dance and therefore destined to rule the land. First, hes to marry his sweetheart Belladonna Zooey Deschanel, with Fabious younger brother Thadeous Danny McBride lined up as best man. Undistinguished by quests, Thadeous is an increasingly jealous stoner layabout, but he gets more than he bargained for when he becomes part of a quest to rescue Belladonna, who is kidnapped from the wedding by dastardly wizard Leezar Justin Theroux, having a ball. Even those who dont know their Krull from their Kull the Conqueror should be able to recognize the comedic target of Your Highness: the sword-and-sorcery cheese that was so common and so odoriferous in the 80s. Your Highness is no Princess Bride, though: Nearly every joke in the new movie is predicated on a culminative swear word, scatology or rude sexual reference. McBride and Ben Best get script credit, but its not terribly surprising to learn that improvisation was welcomed on the set. If most of Your Highness is tedious, it also has its moments. Director David Gordon Green who also directed Franco and McBride in Pineapple Express stages a few creditable action sequences, including ye olde carriage chase and a battle with a five-headed hydra. The gags involving wizards are often the most amusing, as when Fabious and Thadeous seek the counsel of a perverted old wizard played by a puppet a la The Dark Crystal. But since its the films to drive a joke into the ground, we later meet a horny minotaur. Portman turns up along the quests long road, as a woman warrior subjected to ogling and advances from Thadeous. Luckily for Portman, the roles not terribly memorable. Rasmus Hardiker, Toby Jones and Damian Lewis fare better as supporting archetypes young squire, weasel and knight, respectively, while McBride adds a surprisingly good British accent to his usual short-tempered, selfish jerk. Ultimately, the magic-and-monsters milieu isnt enough when the scarlet pimpernel the riddle jokes are half-baked, and thus Your Highness will be a sure thing only for high-flying moviegoers. Rated R for strong crude and sexual content, pervasive language, nudity, violence and the scarlet pimpernel the riddle drug use. 1 hour, 42 minutes. OUR RECOMMENDED SURF FILMS!
