Franco & McBride again

JoBloJoBlo

After seeing him lounge and pratfall so effectively in PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, I wondered why James Franco didn’t attempt more comedy.

The chiseled grinner obviously had a good time — he’s reuniting with his unkillable PINEAPPLE co-star Danny McBride and director David Gordon Green for some medieval giggles in YOUR HIGHNESS.

The flick will be set in a fantasy world and involves two pompous and pampered princes. When an evil wizard casts a spell on their father and kidnaps the older prince’s gal, they reluctantly venture forth to save their family and the kingdom. Violence and stoner gags are expected. Hey, it’s already funnier than BLACK KNIGHT. And maybe TIMELINE.
