Violence & Gore: Three men and a woman attack several men, they punch and stab them, we see blood pouring from wounds, and one of the men appears to have his internal organs pushed through his stomach (blood pours from the wound); a man stabs another man, blood sprays from the wound and we see a massive spray of blood come from a man as his arm is cut off, a man grabs another man's severed arm, punches the man in the crotch with it and the man falls to the ground as blood pours from the wound, while a man tosses another man into a pit and a man punches another man in the temple.
A five-headed monster spits acid at a man's faces, which begins to melt and the skin bubbles off; the monster bites another man's thigh and the man makes another man suck out the venom (please see the Sex/Nudity category for more details), and a woman wearing a cloak attacks the monster, cutting off one of its heads at a time, until only one head remains.
A minotaur chases two men and a woman, the minotaur corners one of the men and rapes him, he is interrupted when another man stabs the minotaur in the back, it drops to the ground and we see blood spraying onto the man's chest; we see the man's bloody sword and the man's chest and neck smeared with blood as he wears the severed genitals of the minotaur around his neck.
A man lifts a disembodied head of a Cyclops out of a sack, and we see blood and tissue hanging from the gaping neck wound.
Several people stare at a Cyclops's head as a man hands it to another man.
A man stares at a disembodied Cyclops's head, with blood and tissue hanging from the neck wound, and impaled on a spike; the man makes a remark that the head is "dripping" and polluting water.

Several men shout that they will kill three men, they surround them, the three men punch their way out of a tent, jump into a carriage and drive away, while two men chase them on horseback and one of the men tries to stab two of the men in the carriage as the other man leaps onto the front of the carriage and fights with the driver (a sword narrowly avoids one of the men's faces); the attacker is thrown off and is dragged behind the carriage (his face is bloody and hitting the ground), and one man is scalped and kicked out of the carriage (we see his bloody skull, and the bloody scalp is thrown back and forth, and then out the window).
Several men attempt to board a carriage carrying two men and being driven by a third, a knife is thrown into the carriage and narrowly misses a man's face, a man climbs to the top of the carriage and fights the driver, the driver is flipped off the carriage and grabs onto a man that is being dragged behind the carriage (his face is bloody and cut), and two more men drop from a tree onto the carriage and it flips and crashes.

Story : 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.

Likes : I loved this film it was so funny, it was slow in place but it made you laugh your head off, the one liners were so funny you didn't even care about the slow parts, one line that had my laughing was ( if your virgina is anything like my hand there will be no problems) lmfao, natalie portman was just stunning in this film as well as funny, mcbride was just funny as hell in this film with his one lines as well.
But I will say tho this film is one of those film you will find funny once but after a few view's it one of those film's that just gets less funny over time, but if your watching this film for the first time you will find this film very funny as it dose have the adult humour crude jokes & one lines which is worth watch even the once. Brilliant performance for all star to really bring a whole funny film together.I was heartily amused, and would recommend this for a light hearted, entertaining romp. The cast is strong. Too often, critics pan films which Jo public actually really enjoy, so judge for yourself based on what actual people say, not according to reviewers, who often are quite wrong about what people enjoy watching.

Dislikes :there was nothing i didn't like about this film

 Overall : If you want a serious laugh this film dose it all from start to finish it will have you laugh & quoting the lines after, it a must to watch


Rating : 5 out 5 stars for entertainment, 10 out 10 for seriously making you laugh your head off
