Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
arthur_tafero I like Jack Black and I like Cera as well. Harold Ramis is a funny man, and very talented. However, this turkey could have been made (and looked like it was made) for 6M instead of 60M. I liked some of the skits in the film (the killing of Abel and one or two of the Sodom scenes). However, three scenes and five good minutes cannot rescue a rambling mess. To be viewed only if it is free. (and then much beer and junk food will be required as well).Dr. Arthur H Tafero (AskMrMovies)
Mynameisroman Wow. After only 7 minutes in the movie you know why the low ratings. its just awful. i usually like the main cast but here they feel totally wrong from the beginning. this humour might works when you are a child but not when you are an adult. sadly the movie continues to be bad. there are some nice bits and pieces here and there but mostly not worth your time.
Prismark10 This is a silly concept film starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as two cavemen in supposedly pre historic times who wander off and then end up in biblical times first encountering Cain and Abel and ending up in the town of Sodom where they try to free people from their own tribe from slavery.So Year One is a romp that goes from the stone age with hunter & gatherers to farmer & herders to wheeled ox pulled wagons to the time of Abraham and its also a comedy with Jack Black doing his usual stretched out shtick.The film is directed by Harold Ramis who is also a credited co-writer but its been a come down from the heady days of Ghostbusters. Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria and Xander Berkeley are the wasted actors in this lame film that provides few laughs and will leave you open mouthed as to how poor it is.
callanvass (Credit IMDb) After being banished from their tribe, two hunter- gatherers encounter Biblical characters and eventually wind up in the city of Sodom.I must confess. I shut this off, and couldn't finish it. I avoided this movie for over 4 years, because I read all the bad reviews, and it simply looked terrible. I should have stayed away from it, because it's as bad as I feared. For starters, these two speak awfully well for being ancient. I get that you're supposed to kick your brain to the curb, but must it be so moronic? Jack Black & Michael Cera, essentially play themselves, and are completely unfunny. I was especially annoyed by Jack Black. I usually like Michael Cera, but he has no idea how to handle this part. They wear these ridiculous looking wigs, and it just comes across as extremely lazy. I didn't see the intention to make people laugh. All I saw was the intention to con people out of their money by paying to watch this drivel. If you wanna see Paul Rudd & David Cross get into a painfully unfunny fist fight, or torture yourself, be my guest
