  • After Neanderthal hunter Zed (Jack Black) is exiled for eating forbidden fruit, he and his sardonic buddy Oh (Michael Cera) leave their village and begin an epic journey through history. The pals encounter biblical characters such as Cain (David Cross) and Abel, Abraham (Hank Azaria), and others, and wind up in Sodom. Along the way, Zed debunks commonly held beliefs and replaces them with his own delusions of grandeur.

9. Year One (2009) - Anthony's Film Review

  • Missing: overview | Show results with:overview

  • Year One doesn't just describe the premise of the movie, about people living in the first official year of human civilization (at least according to the Christian calendar). It also suggests the level of creativity and expertise of whoever worked on this movie. In other words, this is a movie that looks as if it was made by people in their first year of film school. It's not to say that very little effort was put into its production design, costumes, etc., but there is still a lack of energy put into its execution. It's as if the actors in the film are just reading their lines without the enthusiasm that great actors, in much better movies, would have for their roles.
