A raunchy fratboy comedy set in the Dark Ages, starring James Franco, Danny McBride and Natalie Portman as adventurers on a quest to rid the world of an evil wizard (Justin Theroux) who's kidnapped Franco's bride, played by Zooey Deschanel. From the bonus features on the DVD, it looks like one of those movies that was more fun to make than it is to watch: a cast that's ready and willing to do something totally silly, but a script (by McBride) with a surplus of dick jokes and a shortage of wit. If you want to see Natalie Portman in a thong, there's a scene by a lake where she models one, and I guess there are worse reasons to watch a movie. That's about it for this movie, though. There's nothing wrong with Natalie's caboose. It's a nice one. It's just not always enough.
