Year One (2009)
Sep 29th
Review date: 29-Sept.-2009
Harold Ramis’ “Year One” didn’t quite receive a great response at its initial release. While it was no comedy of epic proportions, it did not fail to deliver either. The reviews and low online scores don’t really do this film justice. The duo of Jack Black and Michael Cera are non-stop hilarious. The movie is chock-full of mindless humor involving a modern take of prehistory. While it’s no movie of the year, I enjoyed this movie and got some great laughs out of it.

The trip home is not so much a pleasant one however, as we see signs of some tension between the family. To spice things up, Antoine’s beautiful neighbor Claire (Clotilde Hesme) comes along for the ride to get some fresh air while studying to get into college.
