Set the scene.. Two Princes, Fabious and Thadeous. Fabious (Franco) is a dashing hero, who goes on quests to keep his fathers kingdom safe. The stuff fairytales are made of. Thadeous, not so much. He’s a lazy ass who is quite happy with his life within the walls of his father’s kingdom.
All that changes for Thadeous when his brothers bride-to-be was magically stolen from Fabious at their wedding. Together the two brothers, including a reluctant Thadeous, embark on a quest to find and save Belladonna (Deschanel) from the evil, Leezar (Justin Theroux) who wants to fulfil and ancient prophecy. Can Thadeous Man up and go from zero to hero? (more…)
This deserves a mention, if for nothing else than the use of these words in the press release. ‘See them face all sorts of obstacles including a giant hand snake, well endowed minotaurs, Dwarf Queens, magic mother fuckers and wacked out wise wizards’. This looks like it could be a work of genius or a massive turd.
