Year One
(2009)Prehistoric comedy with Jack Black as Zed and Michael Cera as Oh - cavemen in 1AD. Despite being banished from their village, the pairplan on making it big - Zed has a gut feeling he's been chosen by God to do great things. Starting their own tribe (the 'Muscle Tribe of Danger and Excellence'), Zed and Oh set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.... More
Unfortunately, their quest for glory hits a few snags, like being sold into slavery, and later becoming the object of interest to a very amorous, very hairy high priest (Oliver Platt) in the oppulent city of Sodom.

I used to think he was funny and he truly can be but I think he sold out and just turns up polished pieces of movie ****
It is funny, and I have to admit that, but don't expect anything memorable to come from this movie. The plotline/timeline is a bit hard to follow and anyone who attended church when they were younger will pretty much understand what I mean. Still, I laughed and have since forgotten most of it.
This movie was great, completely funny and random, very witty, Great!!!!!
If you don't like this movie you are an old stiffy!!

A dreary experience. Full Review
Unless you pine for second-tier Mel Brooks, you’ll find more laughs in the Old Testament itself. Full Review
A lot of comedic talent founders in this new Harold Ramis comedy that doesn't exactly recall his glory days of "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day." Full Review
There is no real plot either; instead the narrative seems designed to get this prehistoric pair from one funny sketch to the next, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Full Review
A thoroughly, sometimes gaggingly broad and sly conceptual laugh-in. Full Review
Twenty times longer than its (excellent) trailer, and with about the same number of decent jokes, this underachieving effort boasts another brilliant Michael Cera performance, plus Jack Black licking a turd. Or is he polishing it? Full Review
Lacks seismic guffaws but elicits many mild smiles. Full Review
