Jack Black and Michael Cera playing themselves, yeah, where was that
even considered funny? Now I absolutely adore these actors, Michael was
a great choice in Superbad and Juno and Jack Black has proved he can do
great comedy like Tropic Thunder and a good dramatic role like King
Kong, even a more calm character like he played in The Holiday. But the
main problem? They have no chemistry! You have this wild outgoing
maniac who is eating poop(eeeew!) and the calm awkward overly shy nerd
who pees on himself(eeew!) and what do you have? Every elementary
school joke that could be put into a movie, Year One could have been
written by a five year old and proves that top list actors will do
anything for those millions that they make.

Jack Black and Michael Cera headline Harold Ramis' Biblical comedy
about a pair of misfit hunter-gatherers who embark on a wild journey
through the ancient world after being banished from their primitive
village. Zed and Oh may lack in the skills that their chieftain is
looking for, but they have plans to make it big. Zed has a gut feeling
that God has "chosen" him, and so he leads his buddy on a trip through
the unknown countryside in search of bigger and better things, bumping
into several weird characters along the way -- like a feuding pair of
brothers named Cain and Abel. Unfortunately, their quest for greatness
hits a few snags, like being sold into slavery, and later becoming the
object of interest to a very amorous, very hairy high priest in the
opulent city of Sodom.

You have to understand, I wanted to love this movie, from the minute
that I saw the trailer, I thought this was going to be such a great
movie, but once again they showed all the funny parts in the trailer.
During the movie I fell asleep and my boyfriend tried to wake me up and
I said "OMG, I was dreaming that I was watching this movie where Jack
Black and Michael Cera think that they're funny… oh, no, just let me
sleep". Seriously, this movie was beyond painfully bad, I don't
understand how anybody could find this kind of humor funny. Year One
has everything that should equal a good comedy and that was the funny
cast, but thanks to the bad direction and awful concept, Year One falls
completely flat. Stay as far away from this trash as you can, this film
should be used only to torture possible terrorists into telling the US
where they hide their nuclear weapons.
