Amazon.co.uk Review

Director Harold Ramis leans away from the Groundhog Day side of his personality and toward the Caddyshack side with Year One, a broad comedy set in more-or-less ancient times. The film's cockeyed timeline puts two wandering cavemen (Jack Black and Michael Cera) through a rapid-fire series of biblical events: Cain (David Cross) slaying Abel (Paul Rudd), Abraham (Hank Azaria) preparing to smite his son Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), and everybody converging on Sodom, the Genesis equivalent of Las Vegas. The jokes range from droll religious references to Apatow-ready testicular gags, but almost all of the real humor comes from the efforts of the performers to put things across. Black and Cera couldn't be more different in their styles, but each manages to conjure up some laughs just by working in his particular vein: one can appreciate Black's exuberant extrovert pouncing all over the material like a needy Golden Retriever and also savor Cera's muttering wallflower as he flicks in his sidelong observations. Azaria and Oliver Platt are given very long leashes--they know what to do with that kind of room--and Ramis himself plays a mighty-bearded Adam, but it's all not quite enough to prevent Year One from falling into that hard-luck zone with Caveman and Wholly Moses: one more comedy that suggests the ancient world wasn't really all that funny. --Robert Horton

Synopsis

Jack Black and Michael Cera headline Harold Ramis's Biblical comedy about a pair of misfit hunter-gatherers who embark on a wild journey through the ancient world after being banished from their primitive village. Zed (Black) and Oh (Cera) may lack in the skills that their chieftain is looking for, but they have plans to make it big. Zed has a gut feeling that God has "chosen" him, and so he leads his buddy on a trip through the unknown countryside in search of bigger and better things, bumping into several weird characters along the way -- like a feuding pair of brothers named Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd). Unfortunately, their quest for greatness hits a few snags, like being sold into slavery, and later becoming the object of interest to a very amorous, very hairy high priest (Oliver Platt) in the opulent city of Sodom.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest films ever!, 4 Jan 2010
By Mrs. M. L. Wilkins "Mary Wilkins" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Year One [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
I went to see this film and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD as I have never laughed out loud so much while at the cinema. I have watched it twice over Christmas with family who also really enjoyed it. If you are into Jack Black and silly humour, this film is a must!

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Year One [Blu-ray] [2009] (Blu-ray)
Some arty critics said this film was not much good, but I bought it and laughed many times - sometimes in tears as it was so funny in places. I would recommend this film to pass a few hours and cheer yourself up. Enjoy...

3.0 out of 5 stars This film will have you laughing, 10 Aug 2010
By Rebecca "Rebecca xx" (county durham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Year One [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
I was put off watching this film for quite some time due to many bad reviews, however I was glad I eventually thought I would give it a chance, and I'm glad I did. This film will have you laughing as the comedy pairing of Black and Cera works exceptionally well, if you're in the mood for a senseless comedy then this is right up your street and will not disappoint.
