action

King Tallious has two sons, the noble and heroic Fabious and the lazy, always smoking pot Thadeous. At the celebration of Fabious's victory over the evil wizard Leezar, Fabious introduces the virgin Belladonna freed by him as his future bride. Fabious asks his brother to be the best man at his wedding. However, after Thadeous overhears Fabious' knights gossip about him, he does not appear for the wedding. Instead, Leezar shows up and kidnaps Belladonna. When Thadeous returns to the castle with his servant Courtney, his father asks him to help Fabious find Belladonna.

The two brothers learn from a perverted wizard that Leezar wants to take over King Tallious' kingdom. To do this, he needs Belladonna, according to an ancient prophecy, to gain immeasurable power through sex with her during a special moon constellation. You can only kill him with the sword of the unicorn, which you can find with a magic compass. However, their journey is compromised by Fabious' servant Julian and the knights who work for the wizard. Fabious sends his mechanical bird Simon home to tell the king about the knights' deception so that he can send reinforcements to the two brothers. Thadeous, Fabious and Courtney are captured by nymphs on a river. Their leader Marteetee takes them to an arena where Fabious Marteetee kills the best fighters. As punishment, Fabious is said to be killed by a Hydra-like monster. Suddenly, however, they are saved by the fighter Isabel, who wants to avenge her father who was killed by Marteetee. After escaping the arena, Thadeous learns that Isabel also wants to kill Leezar. Thadeous reveals to Isabel about her journey and the magic compass. In the morning Isabel disappeared with the compass. Fabious is angry with his brother and goes alone to find the sword of the unicorn.

Instead, Thadeous and Courtney go to a public house, where they find Isabel and remove the compass. After discovering that Fabious has been captured by Leezar's men, Thadeous convinces Isabel to join the rescue mission. In the labyrinth of the Minotaur, the group is separated. Thadeous finds the sword and is able to kill the Minotaur after Isabel's panpipe has appeased him. Thadeous cannot saw off the indestructible horn of the Minotaur and instead takes his penis with him as a trophy. To their regret, Fabious and later Thadeous discover that the mechanical bird Simon has been intercepted and destroyed. Accordingly, help from home is not to be expected.

In Leezar's castle, the trio frees Fabious and hands him the sword of the unicorn. In the final battle, the group kills Julian and Boremont and Leezar's three mothers. With the sword of the unicorn, Fabious manages to kill Leezar before he can rape Belladonna. The brothers return home as heroes, while Isabel immediately sets off on another assignment.

After the wedding of Fabious and Belladonna, Thadeous is surprised by Isabel in his bedroom, who confesses her love to him. However, Isabel wears a chastity belt that Thadeous can only open by killing a witch. So both go on their next adventure trip.

reception

The reviews for Your Highness were mostly negative. For the Time critic Mary Pols, the film was one of the 10 worst films of 2011.

"Shy stoner comedy as a parody of knight and historical films, which is primarily characterized by bad taste and gags below the belt. Quotes from films fizzle out just like an appearance by Natalie Portman. "

- Lexicon of international film

"Despite the appropriately unrestrained charging actors," Your Highness "ultimately turns out to be a tired fantasy antics game with bloody interludes, which neither entertains with its coarse nonsense nor with its sword fighting scenes."
