Year One

Comedy Adventure


 

When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers are banished from their village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.

"Year One" is a film comprised of cheap sets and cheap laughs. In the beginning, the jokes are primitive, and take time to grow in charm and wit. Many of the characters stand strong alone, but never band together well, meandering from scene to scene with biblical characters that handily feed the plot. Although some of the performances are uninspired, others never grow old. A clumsy production with just enough spectacle to satisfy the movie gods.

Anthony Macali
