I can’t tell whether it’s a spoof or a comedy. Can you? Either way, it looks like fun.

Just looks like a general comedy set in a fantasy setting. Plot looks like it might be a bit game-ish, but I don’t see anything suggesting they’re spoofing anything.

Yeah, just a comedy. A very lame unfunny “comedy” from what I can tell, but then I think modern comedy has lost its way.

Portman seems to be spoofing the Celtic princess in King Arthur
