Year One (2009) 8/10

Director : Harold Ramis
Running Time : 97 mins

When prehistoric wannabe hunter Zed (Black) is banished from his tribe for eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge, he and his friend Oh (Cera) go travelling in search of new places to live. They arrive at the city of Sodom, where they discover that their old tribe has been captured by warriors and enslaved, so it is down to them to try and rescue their old village, amongst them the women they love.

I actually enjoyed this movie, despite thinking I wouldn’t from the outset. The plot is pretty well thought through, and the humour is witty without being too gross out (other than when Michael Cera has to tub oil into Oliver Platt’s chest!). People who are fans of Jack Black will enjoy his antics, and Cera’s deadpan delivery at times is brilliant.
