    A thoroughly, sometimes gaggingly broad and sly conceptual laugh-in.

    Year One is not really THAT bad and not ENTIRELY without laughs.

    I found the most extreme material to be so tasteless that it voided all comedy.

    Its script isn't worth the papyrus it's inscribed on.

    I don't agree with all the negative grades. It was a good movie, funny scenes, jack black is funny as always and everything is ok.

    I rated this movie the total number of times I snickered throughout its entire 97 minutes. It really boils down to the fact that Jack Black and Michael Cera are a bad combo; combine that with the movie's lackluster writing and you get "Year One."… Expand
