Avis à la une
When Year One came out, I missed it in the theater. It didn't seem to last long. People didn't seem to receive it all that well either. Considering I'm not fond of either of the actors in the two main roles, I really wanted to see this film. When I finally got around to watching it, I now understand why it struck a chord with me.
Without ever claiming to be a tribute to Mel Brooks, that's exactly what it ended up as. If you liked History of the World Part One you will like Year One as our two cave men progress up through the early years of human civilization and culture, encountering various biblical figures and getting themselves in and out of various tight spots.
It was really a fun little film that I think most all fans of Mel Brooks would appreciate. It is as much a nod to JudeoChristian history as it also pans it. It is a nod to Mel Brooks without being a complete copy cat of Mr. Brooks. It is meant to be a romp and not a serious film.
People who brushed it off should give it a second chance and not try to over analyze or read to deep into it and just have a little fun. I gave it an 8, which is saying a lot from a person who doesn't like either lead.

Saw this at a matinée yesterday, with very lowered expectations. Don't quite get all the hate on here for it. If you like Jack Black and Michael Cera, they perform as expected here, loudmouthed braggart and wimpy foil, respectively. Amazing cast...David Cross as Cain and Paul Rudd as Abel? Inspired. Oliver Platt as a hairy-chested high priest? The "McLovin" Kid? There's even a member of Upright Citizens Brigade who puts in a very brief cameo. The story is dumb, and there's a few jokes that fall flat...but the sets are impressive and everyone involved seems to be having fun. A good rental, at least. But you people that are rating it a 1? Save your venom for movies that deserve that, like "Meet The Spartans" (unwatchable) or the latest Michael Bay atrocity.
As a fan of most of Jack Black's work so far (at least the non Tenacious D stuff that is in comedy) and a fan of Michael Cera's great straight man work on Arrested Development and Superbad, I was very disappointed in this film. It is a great premise for a movie but it fails to deliver many laughs, it is basically one of those "all the funny parts are in the trailer" movies and was I think a really wasted opportunity for what could have been a very funny film. Jack Black is okay doing his usual act and Michael Cera is very good in his typical straight man role but the laughs don't exactly come flowing through. There are a couple of very good cameo appearances in the movie, I don't want to spoil the surprise, and they help to make up for the overall poor quality of the rest of the film. Worth seeing probably but definitely not at the movies for $12.

Harold Ramis' final film before he passed away in 2014. May his soul rest in peace. His works will continue to inspire and make people happy.

It's crazy to me that this movie has a sub-five rating. It's a goofy comedy so I don't know what people were expecting. The story follows two hunter gatherers as they make their way through Biblical times after being exiled from their tribe.
Jack Black and Michael Cera are the perfect odd couple and both deliver hilarious performances. David Cross is also great as Cain. Hank Azaria, Oliver Platt and Olivia Wilde all make appearances, even Fogel from Superbad gets in on the action.
Is this movie a cinematic masterpiece? No. But I don't think it ever aimed to be one. It's a short, funny movie that elicited several chuckles. I don't understand all the poor reviews. Definitely give it a try.

- Versions alternativesThe UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that the requested 12A classification could be obtained by making changes to dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the distributor remove the line, "my thingy smells like lamb chops" when a character talks about 'multiplying with sheep'; that they remove the line, "did you know he can put his penis in his mouth, the whole thing"; and the line "his poor rectum is absolutely pulverised, which is not usual for a sheep in this region". When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified 12A.
