Your Highness/Year One/Land of the Lost

Triple bill of historical comedies. 'Your Highness' (2011) follows two siblings, the arrogant and lazy Prince Thadeous (Danny McBride) and his handsome and heroic older brother Fabious (James Franco).

While Fabious spends his days performing valiant deeds such as slaying dragons and rescuing damsels in distress, the life of Thadeous revolves around wine, weed and women.

But when Fabious's fiancée Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel) is kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), Thadeous decides it's time to step out of his brother's shadow and sets out to rescue her with the aid of warrior princess Isabel (Natalie Portman). 'Year One' (2009), set in a twisted version of the Biblical era, stars Jack Black and Michael Cera as two cavemen who decide to venture out into the wider world.

Zed (Black), a hapless hunter, and Oh (Cera), a gentle-natured gatherer, are thrown out of their village after a couple of unfortunate incidents.

Deciding to head into civilisation, they find themselves caught up in a series of important events and unwittingly exert their own effect on history.

In 'Land of the Lost' (2009) palaeontologist Dr Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell), his research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and redneck survivalist Will Stanton (Danny McBride) find themselves sucked into a vortex and sent back in time.

The trio make friends with a primate named Chaka (Jorma Taccone), who becomes their guide in a world full of terrifying prehistoric creatures.

Can Dr Marshall find it within himself to get his fellow humans back to their own world intact?
