All in all, this is a sloppy, unoriginal, brain-dead mess that can't even be bothered to get itself out of trouble.

What's even more depressing than the never-ending stream of sub-sixth-grade toilet humor is the sad fact that Year One is helmed and co-produced by two of the best laughmeisters in the business.

Creatively it's a giant step backwards, with Jack Black and Michael Cera playing to the kids as inept hunter-gatherers who stumble across various Old Testament characters.

The film is lumpy and self-conscious, the dialogue not very witty.

Audience Reviews for Year One

Apr 19, 2012"Year One" tried to get me to laugh a countless number of times and failed every single one of them. There are no new jokes here; they are recycled gags that weren't funny the first time, let alone the thousandth. This film is a complete waste of good cast and crew, and it's absolutely depressing how unfunny it is.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Mar 24, 2012It seems that Harold Ramis didn't know that putting Cera and Black is a big mistake, Jack way of expressing comedy is way to different to how Cera shows which really ruined it for me, critics and the general public who watched it.Scott G Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011I hated this. Jack Black needs to stop doing kids stuff, and stop doing this crap, he needs another hit like School of Rock. Micheal Cera is a horrible actor, all around. This movie was hardly funny, maybe I laughed once. Dont see it if youvalready haven't.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Oct 20, 2011Jack Black and Michael Cera together in a comedy movie. Im sorry but it just doesn't mix. Awful movie.Directors C Super Reviewer
