      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Year One is a poorly executed, slapdash comedy in which the talent both in front of and behind the camera never seem to be on the same page. Read critic reviews

      After Neanderthal hunter Zed (Jack Black) is exiled for eating forbidden fruit, he and his sardonic buddy Oh (Michael Cera) leave their village and begin an epic journey through history. The pals encounter biblical characters such as Cain (David Cross) and Abel, Abraham (Hank Azaria), and others, and wind up in Sodom.

        "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.

        It 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.

        I 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.

        Jack Black and Michael Cera together in a comedy movie. Im sorry but it just doesn't mix. Awful movie.
