Decent but not memorable

I had heard a lot of good things about "Year One" from my new co-workers at Blockbuster so I figured I would check it out. Well what I got was a decent movie but the really funny parts were few and far between.

In “Year One” we meet two misfit cavemen Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera) who end up being banished from their tribal village. For the next hour and a half they go off on an adventure set in what we are to believe is year one although I tend to doubt historical accuracy. In their adventures we get some good cameos from David Cross (His is more of a running bit throughout the movie that I enjoyed), Harold Ramis, and Oliver Platt (His cameo is pretty hysterical so I won’t ruin it). Hank Azaria has a cameo that I just didn’t find all that funny and I’ve always found him to be...

When Do You Get Off? Never...I'm A Slave

This movie was so highly anticipated and yet I can't help but feel that Harold Ramis and the crackpot writers cheated me. I went in hoping for a smart, sophisticated comedy that the trailers made the film out to be, yet all I got was an overtly-sexual, highly blasphemous film about literally nothing in particular. There was no overall theme and even less story arc. The only hysterical thing about this movie was David Cross as Cain. A disappointment.

Year One

Here is the problem. There is a scene in the movie, about 5 minutes long. In it, you have Jack Black, Micheal Cera, David Cross, and Paul Rudd. Four very very funny men. Very Funny. But yet the scene itself isn't funny at all. And that is a problem. One i find incredibly baffling and which immediately highlighted the fact that the script and its director are purely at fault here. Its just not funny, and everyone tries there best but the final edit is messy with no comedic flow, it just runs from dire sketch to dire sketch. I still love these guys but Harold Ramis, who directed one of my all time favourite movies (Groundhog Day) has lost a lot of respect, from me anyways.
