What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Thadeous is a slacker prince whose quest repeatedly punctures the expected nobility of chivalric adventure.
Thadeous must choose between remaining a pampered wastrel and helping rescue Belladonna and protect the kingdom.
Thadeous's lifelong resentment toward the celebrated Fabious drives the brothers' comic quest dynamic.
The film combines elaborate period-fantasy production design and perilous creatures with scatological jokes and crude sexual humor.
