Holy moly does this look dumb. But, like, so dumb that I think I might love it? Also: Danny McBride AND James Franco AND David Gordon Green AND Natalie Portman AND Zooey Deschanel? Is it the summer Olympics again this year? And did the game of basketball get swapped out for a game of putting together the cast and crew of a movie? Because what a DREAM TEAM! But yeah, dumbdumbdumb. “That’s the point, I think.” Uh, that’s the point, I know! Still. Out of the three trailers we have watched this morning, this is the only one with any actual dramatic tension in it. The tension being whether this movie will end up being surprisingly great or if it is going to be the worst. I do appreciate that Danny McBride is not even trying with his accent. It’s a weird thing to appreciate, but I do. Go figure.

  1. Danny McBride’s intentionally half-assed accent > Kevin Costner’s unintentionally half-assed accent

  2. Weird. They’re already remaking Shrek??

  3. It may be a controversial opinion around here, but I find both Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel to be quite attractive.

  4. Happy Trailer Day, everyone! I didn’t realize it was so soon or I would have gotten you all presents.

  5. To me this trailer looks:

  6. I can’t get it to play. Curse the foolproof age verification system!

  7. Kind of a Krod Mandoon vibe… Certainly worth a look though. I too love all those famous people.

  8. Yikes, it looks like Natalie Portman gave them all an acting seminar

  9. Trailer morning, you guys.

  10. I liked Land of the Lost so I think this looks great.

  11. Hmm, watch James Franco cut his own arm off or watch James Franco cut other people’s arms off and Danny McBride is there? Decisions, decisions…

  12. You see, in this one, James Franco is actually the responsible one and Danny McBride is the big stoner!

  13. WHEN DOES ZOOEY DESCHANNEL START SINGING?

  14. It’s my 30th birthday today and Gabe is reviewing trailers! Huzzah!

  15. Can anyone verify if this is SFW? I want to check before a nip slips or something and I get fired

  16. I remember starting my crush on Natalie Portman in the 5th grade after I saw “The Professional,” and her in a thong in this trailer IS NOT HELPING ME COME TO TERMS!!!

  17. Does the ‘suck the venom out’ gag technically count as a nutshot?

    Either way, I am SO back and forth on this movie.

  18. I probably lean more towards SNL Rap Star Natalie Portman, these days.

  19. We’re going to need a bigger MTV Movie Award for Best Everything!

  20. David Gordon Green has a very strange IMDB trajectory

  21. “Your Highness” is our generation’s “Men In Tights”.

    But seriously, this has all the things that I like in it, and I hope it’s not one of those movies where every funny joke is in the trailer. Looking forward to it.

  22. Zero laughs from me in this trailer. Does not look good but neither did the trailer for Pineapple Express and that movie made my stomach hurt from laughing. Fingers crossed but I can see this one bombing.

  23. I know it looks goofy/stupid. But i could definitely enjoy this movie. Sort of like a modern, less horror-oriented army of darkness. But a lot of people think that movie is stupid as well, so i get why a lot of people are skeptical of Your Highness.

  24. Justin Theroux! Oh, man, I can’t wait for Parks and Rec to come back.

  25. Holy MOLY it is dumb that the college computer I am internetting on right now DOES NOT HAVE WORKING SOUND.

    Pretty sure I got the gist of the trailer too, however.

  26. That one guy reminded me of Danny McBride, but Danny McBride isn’t British so I’m not sure who it is.

  27. Oh please let this be VG MOVIE CLUB”d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. “Should I put in the path of this nation one thing, one single thing, deposited from That Most Divine Hand for the sole sake of the enlightenment of our people, and the betterment of our children, and the esteem of our nation, and the pride of our kind, I should hope most fervently and with the dogma of utter self-assurance that one day some buck of a film director might realize that most aetataureate potential which is, at this very moment, curled within the notion of a fantasy movie, but with swearing, and weed. Give unto me that which I deserve for my actions; give unto James Franco that which his stories about white boys smoking weed warrant.” – me, right now

  29. I would be DAMN HAPPY to be kidnapped by an evil magical Justin Theroux! Sadly, this film covers his wonderfully intense widow’s peak with wigz. Probably why Zooey isn’t into it. The Nic Cage effect.

  30. Trailer day is obviously going to have to include the bizarre Daniel Craig / Harrison Ford “Cowboys and Aliens” trailer that was just released today.

  31. I didn’t really laugh until the very very last joke.

    Whoo buddy, this is gonna be just like the Hangover I betcha.

  32. Ah yes, another addition of “Ladiez is objects (Stoners are Actually Super Duper Responsible Guys!)”

    Oof.

  33. I went to school with David Gordon Green and Danny McBride, so this is a definite opening weekend one for me.

  34. Fantasy bound and careers going down.

  35. Saw this at a test screening a couple months back. It was TERRIBLE

  36. was that kevin sorbo near the end?!?!?!?!?

  37. Brilliant writing. Ye olde English followed by ye newe swearing:

    ‘I am a man more sinned against than sinning… bitches’

    ‘Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,.. Cuntz’
