Well here is my review for Year One. Dumb. This movie lacks intelligence and is saddening to watch. What's even worse is that I liked it more than the people I saw it with. To be honest with you the movie had some pretty funny parts to it and Michael Cera is a hilarious guy and plays off Jack Black's stupidity really well. Sadly, one actor being payed millions to do a dumb movie he probably didn't want to do is not enough to make a movie good. Even after throwing in a few cameos like McLovin' and Tobias from Arrested Development. There's just not much here to chew on.
The acting is sub-par, the humor bland and downright offensive as hell at many parts, and the plot about as good as watching a monkey throw poop at a toddler. The previews do not warn you that this movie ACTUALLY takes these men through different events of the Bible for the most part and completely degrade and offensively portray them at every turn they can. Some parts were funny because they didn't blaspheme God but merely posed the question, "Hey what the hell was up with that anyways?" I'm cool with that. The circumcision joke was a little low brow but pretty funny to someone who reads the other stories of the bible on circumcision. Most of the jokes landed flat and ended up just being not funny or having no punch to them at all.
Let me just sum it up for you now. If you like movies that bash religion and make a joke of them then this is your movie. If you like comedy movies a lot you should maybe Torrent this movie or rent it for cheap. Otherwise you would spend your time better doing any of these things: 1. Watching any other movie, 2. Actually studying the bible and figuring out what all parts you don't understand mean, 3. ANYTHING ELSE, 4. Kill yourself.
That's all for this episode of Kalz-o-tron's movie reviews.
