The worst movie ever don't waste your money.
One of the best comedies ever!
A Hilarious Romp!!
In a summer movie season that has thus far been dissmal, Year One ranks at the top of a very long list of bad movies. 1 star.
Waste of my $$$$. Some funny parts but the rest of the movie is boring
Had it's moments but really is just a renter.
Parts in the commercials were the only remotely funny parts. I actually walked out half way through when I decided my money was better spent driving home.
All the funny parts are in the trailer, Jack Black's movie-ending speech kind of reminds me of the same movie-ending speech Lindsay Lohan gave in Mean Girls. Watch the trailer, read the Bible, watch Mean Girls and there's Year One for you.
This movie was rife with gross-out humor, bad acting on the parts of most who weren't Jack Black or Michael Cera, and a terrible plotline. It failed to establish any character relationships, locations (at least for the first half-hour or so) or conflict. Also, I don't know what audience they were trying to reach. If I was a die-hard Christian, I would find it offensive that they mixed humor with seemingly random events from the Bible. Since I'm an atheist, I'm offended by the religious connotations. So unless you're a weak to moderate Christian, don't see this movie. You will only find yourself walking out at 45 minutes like I did.
An interesting comedic satire on early biblical stories. It helps to know a few of the stories to really get the jokes.
