Michael Cera, Jack Black, Oliver Platt
Not doing too well in the eyes of the critics, Year One is not torturous to watch but it’s mediocre attempt at humour gives no real belly laughs, maybe a few audible sniggers. I like Michael Cera from his time on Arrested Development, his facial expressions alone could keep you amused for hours and Year One is no different for him. They pretty much play on the same joke the whole way through the movie, hunter gatherers played by Cera and Black are banished from their village and must find their way in the stereotyped big bad world. It’s not a bad film, but maybe save your money for something a bit more entertaining and wait until comes out on DVD. TK
