Year One

When hunter gatherers Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera) are chased out of their village the two embark on a journey that takes them through biblical times and scenes. Running into Adam (Harold Ramis) and his sons Cain (Davis Cross) and Abel (Paul Rudd) and eventually meeting up with Abraham (Hank Azaria) the two witness and take part in biblical lore all whilst trying to free their romantic interests from slavery in the town of Sodom. But will Zed and Oh make it out of Sodom alive or be burned or stoned to death first?Year One Albeit, this is not a film to take seriously but it’s also not one to just pass off as garbage either. Playing to their strengths Black and Cera make a most unusual but workable comedy duo balancing each other nicely. Sometimes dim witted but clever none the less tongue in cheek  humor coaxes a few laughs. And, cameo appearances from plenty of Hollywood comedic royalty makes the film a fun who’s who watch. Maybe a matinee for mindless entertainment but more likely a DVD rental. Year One is rated PG-13.
