Sinopsis(1)
Thadeous (Danny McBride) se ha pasado la vida viendo cómo Fabious, su perfecto hermano mayor (James Franco), se ha embarcado en tremendas confrontaciones y se ha hecho con el corazón de su pueblo. Cansado de que la aventura, la admiración y el trono no llamen a su puerta, se ha resignado a una vida dedicada a fumar hierba de brujo, beber buen alcohol y seducir a doncellas desvergonzadas. Pero cuando Belladona (Zooey Deschanel), la prometida de Fabious, es secuestrada por el malvado brujo Leezar (Justin Theroux), el rey da un ultimátum a su hijo menor: si no mueve el trasero y la rescata, se acabaron los fondos. Nada convencido de su misión, Thadeous se une a Fabious en un peligroso viaje para liberar a la princesa. Les acompaña Isabel (Natalie Portman), una misteriosa guerrera con un peligroso objetivo. Los hermanos se enfrentarán a terribles criaturas y a caballeros carentes de honor antes de llegar a Belladona. Si Thadeous es capaz de sacar a la luz el héroe que lleva escondido en su interior, podrá ayudar a su hermano a impedir la destrucción del reino. Pero si le puede la holgazanería, no sólo será tachado de cobarde, también tendrá un asiento en primera fila para contemplar el amanecer de la Era de las Tinieblas. (Universal Pictures España)

El tráiler es bastante engañoso en este sentido, ya que la mayoría de los chistes son alusiones al sexo, la homosexualidad, la masturbación y los genitales. Los personajes secundarios son pervertidos. A veces es divertido, a veces embarazoso, definitivamente no es normal. Lo mismo puede decirse de toda la película.

A fairytale crossed with a toker’s comedy with the bombastic background music by Jablonsky and the amazing, breathtaking, gorgeous and wonderful Natalie Portman that has the perfect pace (the story, not Natalie) and presents us things that you would have never imagined. Or maybe you could imagine it, but you wouldn’t believe that someone could have the balls to put things like that into a movie that only a dumb and irresponsible parent would take their seven-year-old to see. P.S.: Franco’s singing is awfully out of tune.

“Magic. Motherfucker!” An idiosyncratic approach to the fantasy genre in which the situations known from such films are spiced up with assorted variations of the word “fuck” and jokes based on somewhat juvenile awareness of the sexual differences between men and women and the possibility of copulation between one sex and the other (in other words: vagina here, penis there and a lot of fucking). This approach isn’t very laborious, as it derives comedy exclusively from the uttering of words that are inappropriate in the given context. With a success rate of one out of every three or four attempts, there are many deaf spots in the film, not to mention the highly misogynistic ogling and treatment of the female characters. I was entertained in places and I recognised the amount of money invested in the money shots (though greater cheapness and self-deprecation wouldn’t have hurt anything), but this is something that I didn’t like enough that I would want to see it again. 60%

I mean it when I say I’d rather see Seth Rogen as Prince Thade, but whatever. This is an unbelievable torrent of the most vulgar, cheap, and lowest form of humor that can flow out of the Hollywood cesspit, and so turning up our noses at the oppressive preachers of morality who don't find this funny is certainly appropriate. I was roaring with laughter from the very beginning, only to realize a third of the way through that the film has a well-constructed regular fantasy story, which works mainly thanks to the great set design and Jablonsky’s perfect music. I don't care whether the film is really that perfect or I just happened to be in the right mood for it, and I give it a full score without any reservations. [PS: Natalie’s bath is exactly the moment when a guy’s brain inevitably bleeds out because his heart is pumping in a completely different direction.

Danny McBride wrote a script tailored to himself, invited some of his buddies from Pineapple Express along for the ride... and yet again, it for the most part didn't turn out well. Though I wasn't suffering too much this time, the humor aims solely at sexual innuendos, which can get boring relatively quickly on a hundred-minute running time. And that simplicity is a terrible shame, because the cinematography is actually well done, Steve Jablonsky nails it as usual, and Natalie Portman effortlessly steals every scene. A forgiving 50% and an unnecessary disappointment.
