ReviewsSan Francisco Chronicle - Black and Cera have something else in common: They are both very skilled, very precise comedians. In the case of Black, this is well known, and in the case of Cera, it's no surprise, considering his performance in 'Superbad'. Still, it's a striking thing to find a 21-year-old actor with such self-assurance, such innate timing and such a thorough understanding of himself as a screen entity [à]'Year One' [...] it's always lively. After 30 years of writing and sometimes directing some very fine comedies ('Groundhog Day', 'Analyze This', 'Caddyshack', 'Ghostbusters', 'Animal House', 'Stripes'), Ramis knows exactly what it takes to hold an audience's attention in comedy. Every character is made vivid and absurd, Time Out New York - An enjoyably dumb comedy [à] The film is blessed by its lead actors. Jack Black, playing an inept boar hunter, continues to draw dividends from his crazy-eyed-visionary thing, while his characterÆs buddy, Oh, flourishes in CeraÆs neuroticism., Variety - An amiable stroll through biblical times featuring Jack Black and Michael Cera as exiled Neanderthals, Year One lacks seismic guffaws but elicits many mild smiles
Additional InformationJack 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.
