This is only the second Jack Black film I've watched apart from School of Rock, which I liked a lot. I wonder which film is more typical of a "Jack-Black film". I hope it's not this one.Jack Black plays a particularly unlikable version of his slob with big ambitions role that came across to me as a bumbling jerk. The plot follows him and his cliché geek side-kick on a journey through old testament times that is more than a little reminiscent of Life of Brian. In fact, I got the impression that this film really wants to be Life of Brian with its own brand of reluctant chosen one and even some very similar individual scenes. But Life of Brian was absurd, yet sharp-witted, had excellent timing, black humour and a degree of self-awareness that still did not require it to roll its eyes at the camera. Year One has only a few clever moments. I liked the role of Olivia Wilde as the scheming princess and also the way politics played out at the king's court. But that is more the stuff of a serious movie.Year One is supposed to be a comedy. To quote my favourite reviewer: a comedy has to be judged by whether or not it made you laugh. And again there were a few moments that made me smile like when the two main guys make some iconic biblical scenes happen by bumbling into them. Sadly, it seems for each of these moments there is at least one crude one that drags on to the point where it's not funny any longer or way beyond cringe-worthy. Pee jokes and poop jokes and fart jokes and some middle school level sexual innuendo are drawn out as if the director was trying to ensure that even the dimmest of dim-wits could not miss the point the movie was trying to make. It's as if someone was screaming in your face: "Get it? This right here is supposed to be funny. Have you got it yet? Have you?!"What I found shocking is that with a slightly different cast you could dismiss a lot of this as an "Adam Sandler movie" but maybe others are picking up this style. I think it goes to show the kind of opinion studios have of their target audience. I honestly don't know who I would recommend this kind of film to. Best not recommend it to anyone.

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.

the only kind of people hating on this movie are Christians they try to hide the fact how god was and how he is and which people still follow him they hate the fact that this just shows that the only people ever defended by god were not eating pork waring headscarfes etc the god of Abraham is not the god of Christianity that teaches Adolf Hitler is in heaven as long he pays church taxes and that all evil is forgiven xtians have problems with people not being lawless beasts they have problems with laws except those made by humans and what is the point crying about people laughing about it when all you do for your "god" is living the exact atheist lifestyle except you say you believe on time in 10 years hypocrites
