Year One Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
What's even more depressing than the never-ending stream of sub-sixth-grade toilet humor is the sad fact that Year One is helmed and co-produced by two of the best laughmeisters in the business.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Creatively it's a giant step backwards, with Jack Black and Michael Cera playing to the kids as inept hunter-gatherers who stumble across various Old Testament characters.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The people who made Year One seem to think that all you have to do to make a hit comedy is get a bunch of jokesters together. But where are the jokes?
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
Harold Ramis' comedy is more evolved than the trailers let on, but after a solid hit to the popcorn audience's vestigial funny bone, the humor retreats into a lazy, generic swamp.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Year One is nowhere near as funny as the ancient-civilization movies I saw in high school: Life of Brian, History of the World Part I, Caligula. Its script isn't worth the papyrus it's inscribed on.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
There is plenty of lowbrow, knuckle-dragging humor; coupled with all the gay jokes, poop jokes, Jewish jokes and you're-stupider-than-I-am jokes, the arrested-development crowd will no doubt be thoroughly entertained.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
It ambles along uncertainly, hobbled by the lack of chemistry between its two lead actors, and by gags that either try too hard or suffer from being barely there.
Houston Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Year One has one joke, but it's a good one, played for many variations over the course of an often very funny comedy.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Year One is a good short skit drawn out far, far too long, another big, dumb offering to the summer movie gods that is unlikely to appease or please anyone.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A thoroughly, sometimes gaggingly broad and sly conceptual laugh-in.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
There's no point to it, just a series of gags -- in both senses of the word.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Year One is a slapdash concoction with an overreliance on scatological gags and a long lag time between laughs. I freely admit that. Yet I have a certain affection for this movie, if only because of its conceptual simplicity.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Let's start with the praise because there won't be much: As comedy pairings go, you could do a lot worse than Jack Black and Michael Cera.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Somehow, despite the presence of those reliable actors and the highly advanced skills of comic veterans Harold Ramis and Judd Apatow behind the scenes, Year One manages to be a dud.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a weirdly awful movie that, while not exactly hard to watch, is rather quite pointless and altogether boring.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Mostly Year One moves along ploddingly, stepping frequently into bathroom humor and never quite funny enough to justify its high concept; when it's over, it quickly slips away.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A lowbrow, only fitfully amusing comedy.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Year One is scattershot and silly, squandering its potential by relying on juvenile bawdy humor.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Tom Horgen
On paper, Ramis and producer Apatow set themselves up for success: The cast is a who's who of funnymen. Unfortunately, the script doesn't give them a whole lot to work with.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Year One is a dreary experience, and all the ending accomplishes is to bring it to a close. Even in the credit cookies, you don't sense the actors having much fun.
