Year One (Review)
cutprintreview.com 6/17/2009 —
It turns out that even back in the Year One Michael Cera was exclusively cast as a bumbling dork and Jack Black a garish buffoon. Yikes…that means they’ve been typecast for over two millenniums now. Thankfully, they’re both quite good at their respective roles. But ...

Film School Rejects
If anything, watching Year One is like playing a great big game of What Could Have Been. The most obvious version of the game is to take a look at the cast and the writing talent and wonder where all of it went – like a mega-budget movie that has terrible FX. But the large amount of ...

Harold Ramis has worked in comedy a long time, and his career has taken many directions. With his work on the Ghostbusters (1984) script and his straight-man performance in the film, he managed to allow Bill Murray room to move and riff within the confines of a visual effects-heavy summer ...

It was in 335 BC in his works entitled “Poetics” that Aristotle divided poetry into three categories: Tragedy, Comedy, and Epic verse. The term “Comedy” was set by the Greeks and the Romans to mean any form of stage play that ended with a happy ending. It was in ...

Scene-Stealers
Post-modern awareness is mixed with an ancient setting in Harold Ramis’ “Year One,” but somehow most of the humor still manages to be prehistoric. If you’ve always wanted to see smart comedians revert to grade school hi-jinks for cheap laughs, then this is the movie for you.
Jack Black and ...
