In the Beginning…

I sooo wanted to like Year One.

Starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as two biblical-times wanderers, the comedy directed by Harold Raimis (Caddyshack, the Analyze movies) sounded like it had all the ingredients in place for a funny mix – but it didn’t.

Black is just almost too aggroying as Zed, a bumbling bad hunter, while Cera does the most of his facetious bad gatherer Oh.

But the movie relies way too much the 3 P words (piss, poop, and…oops, the last is an F word, for farts) that you know that as an audience member, you’re in for a lowering of your IQ.

And that’s just not fun.

My Rating **
