Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Movie Enthusiast I join with those people who say that they do not understand what the critics are on about. I think people who criticize this movie do not understand the style of humor the movie has.I think the setting and concept was quite original for the comedy and Jack Black was as funny as ever. I really like Jack Black, he is one of my favorite comedy actors. He has many things going for him that make him very likable: he has very positive energy overall, warm and friendly on-screen aura, is over the top, crazy in a cute sort of way, spunky and sparkly.Michael Cera had a very good chemistry with Jack Black, balancing his extrovert Zed with sattle awkwardness and kookiness.The actress who played Cera's characters girl friend was super cute, i have forgotten her name, she is quite famous. All other supporting characters did a good job as well.Really, if people are giving this film a bad rap I just think they did not understand the off-beat humour of the film.

RasAlBane This movie offers a cozy relaxation time with a few laughs and a good cast and also a good director.So we have two buddy's who are different but work well of each other and leave their village 2 discover new things and it just has a nice sense of adventure and good feel and the movie just offers this good and cozy look. Its definitely not a great film but its something that you might want 2 see again when your in the right mood.These guys meet a lot of weird people and get into lot of weird circumstances and its just genuinely funny sometimes.Definitely worth a check and not bad in a sense that its not enjoyable cause it most certainly could be worth your time.

david-sarkies This movie is absolute rubbish. I guess the only reason I saw it was because of the one line in the trailer that I liked, and that was when Oh, upon seeing the woman he loved, asked her if they could catch up when she got off, to which she replied 'I'm a slave, I don't get time off'.Anyway, the movie is about two goof balls, Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera), a hunter and a gatherer, who live in a tribe at the beginning of time. Oh is in love, and Zed is simply lazy, and the others in the tribe look down upon them. While they are out one day, goofing off, they come across the forbidden tree and eat from it, and are then kicked out of the tribe. They the wonder around the ancient world, meeting Cain and Abel, Abraham and Isaac, and then land up at Sodom where they discover that their tribe have become slaves.The movie is very loosely based upon the biblical stories in the early part of Genesis, and I say loosely because most of the movie is built around Zed and Oh going from being goof balls to rescuing their tribe from slavery and freeing the people of Sodom from the evil high priest.Personally, there is not really much else I want to write about this film simply because the jokes weren't really all that funny, just crude, and the film not all that original. To be honest, it was rubbish.

cordery23 Comedies, with the exception of Rom-Com's seem to get the short end of the ratings stick, but I ask what's harder these days: to jam in a bunch of special effects on screen, or make an audience laugh, and I'd say it's the latter. Year One has many laugh out loud moments and unlike many comedies they aren't all exhausted in the first 15 minutes. The humour is silly and no, don't look for sophistication, but when I think of all the poorly written SNL based films and other comedies that border on the absurd, Year One doesn't deserve the poor ratings it has. Watch it again, or for the first time whatever the case may be and be surprised at the jokes. I don't like rating movies on one general scale so I will say it's a 9/10 in the pure comedy genre - in that it makes me laugh to this day.
