It isn't often you start out a movie review with the sentence, "This is the worst movie of the year!" But that's where we are going to start. Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera is without question the biggest gagger so far this calender year. And not by a little!
It's the story of two...I don't know what they are, cave men I guess. Wandering through the early ages of civilization. All the while throwing out understated modern-day dialogue and generally making fools of themselves. They encounter others along the way in symbolic, historical cities, that are just as not-funny as our "heroes." Look, I've spent too much time here already trying to explain this mess that is masquerading as a story. There is no story here.
Year One is simply putrid. What on earth were these guys thinking filming this load of manure. Black and Cera even managed to convince Hank Azaria and Oliver Platt this was a good idea. Gotta think that friendship is over. I can't imagine anyone thinking this was ever a good idea. To be perfectly honest, this is embarrassing to all involved. Jack Black has done some really good work in his career no doubt, but this is simply a paycheck. Year One will turn out to be the joke at this years Oscars monologue.
Year One is not funny, witty, comical, inventive, groundbreaking, or anything that resembles good. It is terrible, lousy, not funny, boring, and possibly career killing for somebody somewhere. What a waste of time, and money. It's really a shame that someones actually going to get paid for making this garbage.
Year One. Save your time, and your dime! What a mess! What a MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
