Pre-historic Daftness

Michael Cera has really been at work over the past few years, however his character never seems to vary, even when he's playing the role of an uncivilized man from biblical times, which was the first of many flaws surrounding this summer's newest comedy, Year One. I'm not sure who would have great expectations for the film, but the few I had were definitely not fulfilled. Sure, poking a little fun at sodomy and Old Testament tales can be entertaining, but it seems a few lines were crossed. I'm not very religious, but I definitely got that sickening, "I'm going to hell" feeling while laughing along with the audience as Abraham and Issac yelped about removing foreskins. Unfortunately, that's the only type of laughing that I found myself doing throughout the film. Jack Black and Michael Cera have some decent talent, why they've wasted their time on ridiculous films like Year One is beyond me.

Note: Do not watch this film with your religious parents.
