Your Highness trailer moves hipster pants around the world
Posted on 17. Nov, 2010 by Simon in Film, Trailers
I preface this post with somethings for the ladies — the trailer for “Friends with Benefits” featuring an over-the-shoulder shot of Justin Timberlake doing his thing under Mila Kunis’ covers while humming a happy tune.
Now, moving on…
I never really understood the appeal of James Franco. He always seems high and confused. Probably because his breakout role was him playing a high and confused guy.
I also never really got ”Pineapple Express”, a movie in which Franco played a character who was — you guessed it — perpetually high and confused. So of course, Franco is now starring in Pineapple director David Gordon Green’s next ode to smoking, ”Your Highness’.
Breaking free from his pigeonhole, Franco plays the straightedge in this fantasy based stoner comedy (yes, that’s correct). Moreover, I thoroughly enjoy ” Eastbound and Down” (which Green also often directs) and am huge fan of Danny McBride (who plays himself I think in this film). But the real reason I am more than willing to give this movie a chance?
It also stars Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel, the OG Manic Pixie Dream Girls making plenty of lewd jokes, showing cleavage, slaying dragons and prancing around in thongs.
Yes, this red band trailer prominently features Portman in a thong.
I still wish she’d have done “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” but oh well. Where do I line up?

this looks awesome. More than likely the only good parts are in the trailer, but just the fact that they did a stoner fantasy movie rocks.

Yeah, I’m down for giving this a shot too. James Franco is cool in my books. Even moreso than Zooey.
