Year One

"Year One", written and directed by Harold Ramis (he also did Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Vacation, Groundhog Day...comedies people actually like watching) is a horrible excuse for a movie. It has a great cast including Jack Black, Michael Cera, Hank Azaria, David Cross, Oliver Platt, and Paul Rudd. And every single one of them was completely wasted in this horrible attempt at a comedy. "Year One" is an insult to your intelligence and is, simply put, complete garbage and a torture I wish on no one.

This is a "road" movie about a hunter and a gatherer, Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera). They are kicked out of their tribe and meet several people from the Bible. And I'm assuming something actually happens, although honestly I'm not sure...someone wrote this script in like 20 minutes, and with no sleep apparently...oh yeah...they do end up in Sodom...and slavery is involved...and the 2 guys try to get 2 girls to like them...

The movie is pretty sacrilegious - making fun of Biblical occurances like Cain murdering Abel, etc. "Year One" is also full of humor that seems to be geared towards kindergarteners perhaps. Yes, Jack Black eats bear feces, Michael Cera urinates on himself, people get circumcised, and we are supposed to somehow laugh at this embarrassing mess.

The good parts of this movie?...um the ending credits when the suffering, sacrilegious, and juvenile jokes were finally over (It is kind of hard to fathom how much I despise this movie...). I did like Hank Azaria (Abraham) actually; somehow he took a horrible, awful attempt at a script and made it relatively amusing - his lines anyways...other peoples' lines were beyond his control.

0 stars....yeah, kind of like "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Don't ever watch this movie...ever...if you want to laugh anyway...if you want to watch it and ponder what was going through everyone's heads when they accepted part in this joke of a movie than go for it and rent it for a buck. One of the worst movies of the year...and I've seen over 20
