'Your Highness': Ye Olde Silly Buggersnew
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time to take Danny McBride and James Franco, stick them in tights and jerkins, and have them rescue Natalie Portman from fire-breathing dragons, or some shit. But they left one important ingredient behind: Judd Apatow.
