Zach’s Unfounded Movie Review: Year One

Posted in Movie Reviews by Zach on June 30, 2009

Saw the new Jack Black movie Year One this weekend. Talk about an awful film.

Number one, I’m surprised I even stayed up during the entire thing. It was probably because they would always set up for what could be a great comedic scene when they either cut it too short or took it in the entirely wrong direction. Jack Black was his usual self, but him and Michael Cera just never seemed to click. Cera just grew to be irritating by the end. The two people who kept me from walking out of the show were David Cross and Hank Azaria. I was hoping there would be more of Hank, who is hilarious as Abraham, but I was once again disappointed. David Cross is great in nearly everything he does, and this isn’t any different. He was one of the few actors in the entire film with any comedic timing. Kudos to David for saving this movie.

This movie is definately on my list of worst films I’ve ever seen. Not near as bad as Ghost Rider, but damn close. 1.5 out of 5 stars.
