... was so empty and unfunny that I decided to catch a little shuteye. I'd been up since 2:30 am LA time and it wasn't like I was missing anything. How could the director and cowriter of the inspired Groundhog Day , easily one of the most satisfyingly made and richly themed comedies of all time, have allowed himself to make something as lame and sloppy as this? The current 28% Rotten Tomatoes rating is no surprise. It's brazenly awful. Some are comparing Michael Cera and Jack Black 's comic attitude and repartee to that of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello , but the craft ...

Year One
Director: Harold Ramis
Starring: Jack Black, Michael Cera, cameos
Good if you want to see: a return to late '70s/early '80s, History of the World/Life of Brian/Wholly Moses!-style historical comedy; a preview of how well screenwriters Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, currently writing Ghostbusters III, work with Egon as a director (Rotten Tomatoes says not well).

... but its too amiable and ineffectual to be hated. Its simply just not amusing, full of dick, poo and unfunny fart jokes, improved to death and slapped together — a bunch of lame skits about the Bible and neanderthals affixed together with tape and glue. The critical consensus seems to agree, it has an incredibly low 20% on Rotten Tomatoes which is one of the lowest scores a Judd Apatow related comedy has received in the last four years (ouch, when "The Proposal" has a better rating than "Year One," then you really ...

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.
