I thought this movie was pretty funny. i found myself constantly laughing throughout the film. Michael Cera plays the same freaking character in every movie...but its ok, it works for him i guess. Jack Black as always is hilarious

If there is any justice in the world, there will never be a Year Two.

after directing some of the best comedies in the last 30 years like groundhog day, vacation, and caddyshack, and starring in many others like ghostbusters, i had hoped this film from harold ramis would pan out a bit better than the terrible looking trailer suggested it would. un...( read more)

Year One looked to be the comedy of the 2009 summer season. Judd Apatow (the King Midas of modern comedy) produced the film for his idol Harold Ramis (< -

Easily one of the worst movies I have seen in the last five years. Boring with very few laughs.

This movie had me crying it was so stupid. Haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a while! I wouldn't have paid to see it in the movie, it looks a little low budget. Seems weird to like it and not.
Critic Reviews
Year One is nowhere near as funny as the ancient-civilization movies I saw in high school: Life of Brian, History of the World Part I, Caligula. Its script isn't worth the papyrus it's inscribed on. full review
This lame biblical/caveman jokefest fails to elict many laughs. full review
It ambles along uncertainly, hobbled by the lack of chemistry between its two lead actors, and by gags that either try too hard or suffer from being barely there. full review
Black and Cera posed in cave-man outfits for an amusing poster. Then the movie was brought forth and things went downhill. full review
Year One has one joke, but it's a good one, played for many variations over the course of an often very funny comedy. full review
The picture's desperate, teen-baiting assemblage of fart jokes, dick jokes, poop-nibbling and urine inhalation are a constant reminder that no matter how ancient the setting's supposed to be, the land... full review
Mostly Year One moves along ploddingly, stepping frequently into bathroom humor and never quite funny enough to justify its high concept; when it's over, it quickly slips away. full review
Year One is scattershot and silly, squandering its potential by relying on juvenile bawdy humor. full review
Year One is a dreary experience, and all the ending accomplishes is to bring it to a close. Even in the credit cookies, you don't sense the actors having much fun. full review
